Stephen Holden of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Although the early scenes hold out some promise that Greg Pritikin’s Surviving Eden, a parody of Survivor in which contestants compete for a million-dollar payday by playing Adam and Eve in a jungle setting, could amount to something, the movie quickly runs out of ideas."[3]
