Roger Ebert from the Chicago-Sun Times awarded the film three out of four, and wrote, "A Great Wall is a human comedy about a Chinese-American family that goes to visit relatives in Peking, and within that simple premise are so many inspirations that the movie is interesting even when it's just looking at things", and went on to say "The chief pleasure of A Great Wall is its observation of the different attitudes toward the daily process of living in China and the United States."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
