Brad McHargue of 'Dread Central' rated it 4/5 stars and wrote that although it is occasionally amateurish and jumbled, the documentary is insightful about the role of special effects in filmmaking. James Marsh of 'Screen Anarchy' called it "exhaustive to the point of being exhausting", comparing it to a very long DVD extra.
