Reception
A review in Billboard magazine said that surviving Nirvana members, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl, "offer much insight into their old band and the recording of its breakthrough second album" and that the film "gets into the heart of the story with Grohl, Novoselic and producer Butch Vig detailing the Nevermind sessions, track by track". Billboard also noted that the deceased Nirvana band leader, Kurt Cobain, only appears briefly in interview footage but it gives a strong sense of him in what may have been the happiest time of his life.
