The review aggregator website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reported {{a or an|{{RT data|score}}}} approval rating and an average rating of {{RT data|average}}, based on {{RT data|count}} reviews. The website's critics consensus reads: "''Chicken Run'' has all the charm of Nick Park's ''[[Wallace & Gromit]]'', and something for everybody. The voice acting is fabulous, the slapstick is brilliant, and the action sequences are spectacular."<ref>{{cite Rotten Tomatoes |id={{RT data|rtid|noprefix=y}} |type=m |title=Chicken Run |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226013804/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chicken_run/ |archive-date=26 December 2015 |url-status=live|access-date={{RT data|access date|df=dmy}}}}{{RT data|edit}}</ref> At [[Metacritic]] the film has a weighted average score of 88 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref>{{cite Metacritic|id=chicken-run|type=movie|title=Chicken Run|accessdate=7 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110228202537/https://www.metacritic.com/movie/chicken-run |archive-date=28 February 2011 |url-status=live  }}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://cinemascore.com/publicsearch/index/title/ |title= ''Chicken Run'' (2000) |publisher= [[CinemaScore]] |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181220122629/https://cinemascore.com/publicsearch/index/title/ |archive-date= 20 December 2018 |access-date= 8 July 2019 }}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave three and a half stars out of four, writing: "So it truly is a matter of life and death for the chickens to escape from the Tweedy Chicken Farm in ''Chicken Run'', a magical new animated film that looks and sounds like no other. Like the otherwise completely different ''[[Babe (film)|Babe]]'', this is a movie that uses animals as surrogates for our hopes and fears, and as the chickens run through one failed escape attempt after another, the charm of the movie wins us over."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|title=Chicken Run Movie Review & Film Summary (2000) – Roger Ebert|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=www.rogerebert.com|access-date=5 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107015643/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/chicken-run-2000|archive-date=7 November 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
