Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter found that the documentary only achieved partial success, describing it as “20 percent a reminder of Murphy’s transcendent talent, 30% a dead-ended investigation into the mystery of her death, and 50% an unenlightening examination of Murphy’s late husband” Fienberg concluded his review by saying that Murphy deserved better than the treatment she received from the media, which he believed may have contributed to the level of control her husband exercised over her.
