- 80L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonL.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonA refreshing antidote to those E! True Hollywood Story documentaries on adult-film figures like John Holmes, Savannah and Traci Lords.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceIn a way, the porn legend seems to have cut a tragic Faustian deal. He's always wanted to be a mainstream actor.
- 63Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaNow in his late 40s and hairier than ever, Jeremy seems a simple enough, likable guy, and he has no pretensions about what he does. And no apologies either.
- 63Boston GlobeBoston GlobeCaptures a shadowy scene.
- 60VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonThe Legend of Ron Jeremy is, at a brisk 75 minutes, long enough to get the job done.
- 50New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanIt's a lumpy and disorganized film that remains unsatisfying, perhaps because the fundamental oddness of having sex in public for money as a way of life remains just as mysterious at the end of the film as in the beginning.
- 50Miami HeraldCharles SavageMiami HeraldCharles SavageThe result is less an examination of the porn industry than it is a portrait of Jeremy's own humanity, with all its quirks and eccentricities.

- 40New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerNew York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerThis unrated documentary, which contains no hard-core shots, could have used more hog and less hedge, if you catch my drift: When Jeremy drones on about his quest to be cast in mainstream movies, dullness sets in.
