Todd Gilchrist of TheWrap gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Stern’s film basically serves as a chronicle of one liberal’s disbelief and disillusionment as election night dashes all of his ideals about the progress he thought our country had made. Almost two years later, though, who needs or wants to see that?" [4]
