Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The interviews with Chase provide very few notable details, but he's far from dead weight. The casual glimpses of his ordinary life in Bedford and public events like his annual Q&As on behalf of Christmas Vacation are sweet and human and capture the 82-year-old comic as a rascal, but not an asshole at all." [11]
Richard Roeper of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote that it's "a gripping, funny, insightful, and at times melancholic look at a comedy legend who is in his 80s and still can be alternately charming and irascible in the span of a New York minute." [12]
Chase's feud with Terry Sweeney is discussed in the film, with Chase stating "Terry Sweeney, he was very funny, this guy. I don't think he's alive anymore". Sweeney responded by stating: "Don't you think he is saying this and making himself look more like the ass he is?" [13] Additionally, Chase's firing from Community is discussed, with Yvette Nicole Brown issuing a statement writing: "Anyone currently speaking FOR or ABOUT me with perceived authority is speaking without EVER speaking to me about the things they claim to know about. They actually don't really know me—at all." [14]
