Die Burger Amanda de Lange Die rolprent spot erg en onsmaklil met verskeie Bybelse verhale | 1 | |

Box Office Amy Nicholson Humor as fresh today as it was in B.C. | 8 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Year One is a dreary experience. | 5 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nayman While nobody should expect cutting-edge filmmaking in a farce fuelled by foreskin jokes, Year One's aesthetic and attitudinal laziness is the opposite of affable. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs A highly disjointed affair. It also throws temporal believability out the window, contains crude and potentially offensive material and, worse yet, is awash in comedy material that simply doesn't work. | 2 | |
