Robert Koehler reviewed t' film for Variety magazine. Begad! Blimey! He writes that t' film "casts a lastin' impression with its cavalcade o' rousin' and revealin' memories, shiver me timbers, rangin' from t' Smother Brothers' still-bitter recollection o' how Nilsson and Lennon heckled t' comedy duo at t' Troubadour, t' ace Nilsson Schmilsson producer Fartin' Limpin' Richard Perry describin' t' fecund recordin' sessions and his continued bafflement at Nilsson's apparent self-destructive streak."

Patrick MacDonald o' t' Seattle Times gives t' film three (out o' four) stars and says, "Fans will be deeply moved, me bucko, and t' uninitiated will learn o' a great American artist cut down by excess."

Michael Rechtshaffen writes for t' Hollywood Reporter, "Recently receivin' its world premiere at t' Santa Barbara International Film Festival, t' film doesn't exactly break any fresh docu ground, me bucko, but its ability t' richly evoke a highly tactile time and place should make it a viable theatrical and DVD release through t' right distributor."
