The site's critics consensus reads, "A mixture of ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs (1971 TV series)|Upstairs, Downstairs]]''; ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]''; and perceptive social commentary, ''Gosford Park'' ranks among director Altman's best."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gosford_park/|title=Gosford Park (2001)|work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Flixster]]|access-date=30 January 2023}}</ref> [[Metacritic]] assigned the film a weighted average score of 90 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/video/titles/gosfordpark?q=Gosford%20Park|title=Gosford Park|publisher=[[CNET Networks]]|work=[[Metacritic]]|access-date=6 August 2009|archive-date=18 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210218121315/https://www.metacritic.com/movie/gosford-park|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] awarded it his four out of four stars, describing the story as "such a joyous and audacious achievement it deserves comparison with his [Robert Altman's] very best movies."<ref name=ebert/> Ebert specifically noted a quality of the film that many Altman films share: a focus on character rather than plot.<ref name="ebert" /> [[Emanuel Levy]] gave ''Gosford Park'' an A minus rating, describing one of its themes as "illuminating a society and a way of life on the verge of extinction",<ref name="levy">{{cite web |url=http://emanuellevy.com/article.php?articleID=2152 |title=Gosford Park |access-date=27 April 2008 |last=Levy |first=Emanuel |author-link=Emanuel Levy |work=EmanuelLevy.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201064612/http://emanuellevy.com/article.php?articleID=2152 |archive-date=1 December 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> placing the interwar setting as an integral part of the film's class study. However, he notes that because Altman is an independent observer of the society he portrays in the film, it does not have the biting qualities of his previous social commentaries such as ''[[Short Cuts]]'', set in the director's home country of the United States.<ref name="levy" /> [[Jonathan Rosenbaum]] in the ''Chicago Reader'' called it a masterpiece.<ref>{{cite web |first=Jonathan |last=Rosenbaum |title=A Touch of Class [GOSFORD PARK] |url=http://www.jonathanrosenbaum.net/?p=6259 |work=[[Jonathan Rosenbaum|JonathanRosenbaum.net]] |date=18 January 2002 |access-date=10 March 2015}}</ref>
