Reception

The film has a 64% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 22 reviews.

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Nevertheless, the movie has the kind of personality and heart too often missing from grimy little crime pictures. It’s endearingly ramshackle."

Peter Martin of Screen Anarchy also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "One Day as a Lion is sufficiently likable to overcome its evident shortcomings and makes for a roughly criminal B-picture."
