Critical reception

Barbara Shulgasser-Parker of Common Sense Media wrote in her review "This documentary does a good job of showcasing the talents and charm of the buoyant and earnest electronic dance music violinist/dancer as she tours with her show and copes with loss and grief."[9]

Aviously rated the film 7.5/10 saying "Lindsey shares so much more with the viewers, as her journey and story are worth the watch. Watching it makes you feel the emotion that went into the album, something usually only the band members know about and understand."[10]
