- 70Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLife's a Breeze is a small film with a considerable amount of charm. Comic and idiosyncratic, it takes a warmhearted view toward its protagonists while still seeing them for exactly who they are.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLife’s a Breeze is breezy, lighthearted fun.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeIt takes a special kind of imagination to recognize the entertainment potential trapped in such a mundane scenario, and an incredibly resourceful filmmaker to spin it into as much fun as Daly does here.
- 63Slant MagazineWes GreeneSlant MagazineWes GreeneA rigidly predetermined film that runs on the fumes of hackneyed plot points, squandering at nearly every turn a humanistic study of a family's struggle to maintain a tenable bond with one another.
- 50RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoFrom a filmmaking standpoint, Life’s a Breeze is something of a jumble. There’s a whimsical score that sounds like a Mumford & Sons bridge on repeat that underlines the quirky tone in rather annoying ways.
- 40Village VoiceSteve EricksonVillage VoiceSteve EricksonThe film's surface naturalism and visual grit simply cover up a screenplay that's as full of crap as the average recent Hollywood comedy.
- 40The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergLife’s a Breeze is ultimately about as cutting and memorable as its title.
