Sylvia Kltzer wrote that the film was made in Socialist Realist style. Johannes von Moltke noted that while suffused with images of rural bliss... rhythms of nature and local tradition typical to the genre of Homeland films, 52 Weeks is not entirely irreconcilable with the belief in progress and is an example to the East German agrarian pictures that focused on the benefits of the collectivization. The Catholic Film Service called it formalistic, but with good acting. ........
