Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The film's structure lends the portrait an illusion of greater depth than it has, but the format readily accommodates several odd sidelights on its subject's tastes, interests and background. ... And even if the film ultimately has the air of a flexing of cinematic muscles (Sinniger is a recent graduate of the London Film School), it has the nous to recognise a show-stopper when it has one, and finishes delightedly with a sequence of Chris Spedding dubbing a Duane Eddy-styled guitar break on to one of the album tracks 'just as the man himself woulda played it'." ^[3]
