Willoch earned a reputation as a sharp-witted, sometime ascerbic politician. During his years in parliament and in various governments, he was respected by his political allies and opponents alike, but never gained the popularity of other prime ministers in his time.

Considered one of the most conservative politicians in his time, he has in later years adopted positions at odds with the traditional conservative platform in areas like human rights, international relations and economic policy, criticizing what he has characterized as "predatory capitalism." He has also been a vocal, harsh, and uncompromising critic of the state of Israel. Lately, he has worked to offer political asylum to convicted Israeli traitor Mordechai Vanunu.
