Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote that "the film conjures a wholehearted and accessible experience within an experimental veneer."[2] David Fear of Rolling Stone described it as "a singular experience, impossible to replicate and uninterested in being definitive on anything, much like the gent at the center of it all."[7]
