About the only thing I'd knock crackers off Jolly's overall score for is its not quite top-drawer cartoon style.

Even with a few technical problems, it's hard not to recommend Jolly Rover to any fan of adventure games, especially those who remember the LucasArts games of the 1990s fondly.

Jolly Rover is a charming and highly amusing romp that's pretty much a must for any self-respecting adventure gaming fan.

A fun and humorous adventure game that is relatively short and lacks replay value is still worth it, depending on who you are and what you like.

Jolly Rover proudly stands on the shoulders of a giant, and unlike other adventure games that imitate LucasArts' greats, it keeps its balance. [Sept 2010, p.89]

A genuinely charming entry in the point-and-click catalogue. [Apr 2011, p.83]

With the witty banter, humorous storyline, and excellent cast of characters, Jolly Rover manages to create an identity of its own.

Ultimately, Jolly Rover is a funny, well made adventure game.

Jolly Rover is a swashbuckling canine adventure full of colourful characters and plenty of laughs.

Graphics and sound are okay, the gameplay and the controls are nothing new and the story is not the best of all time. Jolly Rover is a solid point & click-adventure in a 2D comic world.
