Critical response

Writing for The Times, Ed Potton said that "the real-life rock star Machine Gun Kelly is worryingly convincing as an obnoxious fictional rock star in this bleak showbiz parable." David Ehrlich evaluated with B− on IndieWire saying that "at least it's a tale that Baker lived to tell, and refused to let anyone else tell for him." Writing for Deadline, Anna Smith said that "the love-hate relationship between this bickering pair is a darkly funny and touching one that, like many scenes, offers an insight into the lives of the rich and famous".
