[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' criticized the film's special effects, saying "Sometimes it works to show their lips moving (it certainly did in ''[[Babe (film)|Babe]]''), but in ''Good Boy!'' the jaw movements are so mechanical it doesn't look like speech, it looks like a film loop. Look at ''Babe'' again and you'll appreciate the superior way in which the head movements and body language of the animals supplement their speech."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20031010/REVIEWS/310100302/1023 |title=GOOD BOY! |first1=Roger |last1=Ebert |newspaper=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] |publisher=Rogerebert.suntimes.com |date=October 10, 2003 |access-date=March 30, 2015 |archive-date=March 10, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130310115344/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20031010/REVIEWS/310100302/1023 |url-status=live }}</ref>
