New York Post V.A. Musetto
If you're looking for socially redeeming value, go elsewhere. The Good Old Naughty Days is just good old dirty fun.

Reveals how sex remains eternal over time, and also the ways that it changes.

Variety Todd McCarthy
Pics are as explicit as anything made today, and together serve as an almost quaint reminder that human nature hasn't changed one whit since grandpa and grandma's day.

The New York Times Dave Kehr
The Good Old Naughty Days is an unfortunate title, redolent of red garters and denatured Dixieland jazz, that hides a captivating compilation of pornographic films from the silent era.

LA Weekly John Powers
You don't find this much casual bisexuality in today's X-rated pictures. Still, some things never change. All the actors overact like crazy, except for a dog that -- don't ask.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Above and beyond the prurient-nostalgia appeal, these films evoke an agreeably prelapsarian landscape of desire.

Empire David Parkinson
Far from being mere titillation, this revealing peek at bygone morality also exposes the joyless, exploitative body-fascism of much modern porn.

Village Voice Ed Halter
Still, erotophiles should appreciate this peek into yet another period when French meant freedom.

Austin Chronicle Steve Davis
Unless you’re a true aficionado of this kind of fare, there may be little to keep you watching The Good Old Naughty Days in its entirety. Once the novelty wears off, you might find yourself instinctively reaching for the fast-forward button on a non-existent remote.

Kitty Galore gave it a 7:
hot porno for the French was ahead of San Gabriel valley's industry's paltry story lines, mediocre dialogue and weak "money shot"s, if you know the term. Try to see this film that is more graphic than a nun walking a dachsund with an agile trick up its legs. Fun, wild and hilarious. Will make you blush to think this is how your French grandma got it on with her girlfriend before grandpa came along..so to speak.
