Colton of The Daily Rotation wrote, "In the French-Canadian comedy Starbuck, a man-child is forced to grow up due to unexpected news. Familiar concept? We’ve seen the man-child shtick before in countless of films but Starbuck stands out with it’s out of the ordinary plot about a man who just wanted to make some cash in his twenties and twenty years later, finds out that his generous donations spawned hundreds of offspring. Released last year in Quebec, the comedy is now finally making its way to the film festivals in the United States and was the opening night film for the 2012 Milwaukee Film Festival."
