I was reading through the API and I clicked on Business API and found reviews as a possible response. The description reads,
List of up to 1 review snippet for the business
Does this mean I cannot pull all my reviews for my business onto my website? I could only show 1 snippet?

The Yelp API provides data from millions of businesses across the world. It contains data such as business ratings, reviews, locations, photos, and a plethora of other details. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know to set up your own Yelp account and how to make requests with the Yelp API.
Although the API is free to access, there is a cap on daily API calls. 5000 calls is a decent amount to experiment and build you apps with, but if you want to scale it, you'll need to apply for Yelp Fusion VIP.
You can make a request through Yelp's data download tool as described below: Desktop: Go to your Privacy Settings and click on the link to Download a copy of your Yelp data in the upper right corner of the page.
The Yelp Fusion API allows you to get the best local content and user reviews from millions of businesses across 32 countries. This tutorial provides an overview of the capabilities our suite of APIs offer, provides instructions for how to authenticate API calls, and walks through a simple scenario using the API.
This is correct, there is no way to get more reviews from the Yelp API.
You would have to write a web scraper. http://www.jacobward.co.uk/web-scraping-with-php-curl-part-1/

YELPs EULA forbids web scraping.
Under the Restricts section, subsection 2, item 3, "Use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process or means to access, retrieve, scrape, or index any portion of the Site or any Site Content;"
If you do it be careful. These websites have gone after folks hard in the past...
EDIT: by do it I am referring to the webscraping that was suggested.
