 Henken found the final third of the documentary "compelling" and "poignant".Reviewing the film in the "San Francisco Examiner", Scott Rosenberg said Frith is "simply a guy who loves the sound of an electric guitar", and while the sounds he produces may seem a "racket ... it's a beguiling one".But he was disappointed with the filmmaker's "celluloid improvisation" where the camera appears to "wander aimlessly".
