Rotten Tomatoes reports that 92% of critics gave the film a positive review, based upon a sample of 38, with an average score of 7.2 out of 10.

[sic] successfully gives Noam Chomsky's philosophical musings an expressive canvas with a delightfully anarchic animation style."[3] Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, gave the film an average score of 76 based on 16 reviews.[4]
