In rare positive reviews, What's On IPhone wrote "I’m a Python fan and for a dollar, this game is cute, funny and worth the cost. Like Angry Birds, it can bit quite addicting".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whatsoniphone.com/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing - Review|work=What's On Iphone|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, whileand MacLife listed the game in an article entitled ''The 25 Best iPad Games'', commentingcommented "While there's an inclination to state that Monty Python's Cow Tossing HD was a quick, hasty effort to capitalize on a classic comedy meme and heap additional currency into the Python coffers, this doesn't feel like the case. There's a genuinely good game at the core here -- the app itself ran well and we experienced none of the crashes that App Store reviewers are complaining about -- but there's a lot of version 1.0 bugginess to sort out. Give it a month, wait until it hits version 1.1 (or later), see what the feedback is and perhaps the $2.99 App Store price won't go towards a soda but towards a promising title laden with Monty Python goodness".<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20110412041953/http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/monty_pythons_cow_tossing_hd_review</ref>

Gamezebo said "Monty Python's Cow Tossing often feels more like a game of chance than it does a game in the traditional sense"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamezebo.com/2011/02/08/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review - Gamezebo|work=Gamezebo|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, while Pocket Gamer UK wrote "Monty Python's Cow Tossing is a mediocre physics puzzle game that earns more points for style than substance".<ref>http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Multiformat/Monty+Python%2527s+Cow+Tossing/review.asp?c=27528</ref> 148apps said As a Monty Python fan, I am disappointed with the lazy and unimaginative way this game has used the classic comedy troupe's work. As an iOS gamer, I am disappointed with the obvious, blatant copycatting of Angry Birds. This is nothing more than a licensed-name cash grab, and you should avoid it at all costs<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.148apps.com/reviews/monty-pythons-cow-tossing-review/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review » 148Apps » iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch App Reviews and News|work=148Apps|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, while Touch Arcade wrote "All in all, Monty Python's Cow Tossing is full of wasted potential".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toucharcade.com/2011/02/03/monty-pythons-cow-tossing/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing Review - Touch Arcade|publisher=|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref> Gamereactor Sweden wrote "To throw cows on invading brits might seems like an excellent idea for a game. And it is. But Monty Python's Cow Tossing is unfortunetly nothing more than a really bad copy of Angry Birds and total waste of what actually could have been fun"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamereactor.se/recensioner/26025/Monty+Python%27s+Cow+Tossing/|title=Monty Python's Cow Tossing|work=Gamereactor Sverige|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>, and AppGamer said " It's a wasted opportunity and doesn't do anything for the Monty Python name".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://appgamer.net/reviews/2011/feb/4/monty-pythons-cow-tossing|title=AppGamer.net - Monty Python's Cow Tossing|publisher=|accessdate=30 September 2014}}</ref>
