Critical reception
Variety noted that in the film "we get the saga of a tender musical fairy godfather", but "you won’t learn much about Davis’ personal story". The Arts Desk wrote that "it's an extraordinary two-hour tale of a man with great ears and a passion to match". In a negative review, IndieWire wrote that the film is not a documentary, but a "prolonged tribute reel with ample material to fuel a dozen lifetime achievement award ceremonies" and the film's "hagiographic tone only worsens once Davis himself takes centerstage as the chief interview subject".
