Critical reception
Rhian Daly of NME praised the documentary by explaining "The best music documentaries take you into the heart of something – an album, a concert, a tour or an artist’s entire journey. They give you new insight into the music you love or the stories that have become so legendary they feel like myths. They make you feel like you’re a part of the subject, witnessing it firsthand, living and breathing it. RM: Right People, Wrong Place ticks all those boxes".CNN Indonesia’s Riva Dessthania appreciated RM stating that "The film also shows RM's experimental side. RM tries to play with new colors and genres outside of BTS and even K-Pop, by working with various musicians and producers."
