- 83The PlaylistKimber MyersThe PlaylistKimber MyersCrafted with exquisite care in the vein of its subject, though it occasionally feels overly precious (criticism that might be leveled at the restaurant itself by its detractors).
- 75The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenThe Seattle TimesSoren AndersenDeschamps’ camera captures the emotional roller coaster Redzepi rode during that tumultuous time and shows his conflicted relationship with fame. He dismisses its importance but also clearly craves it. The end result is a revealing portrait of an artist wholly dedicated to his art.

- 50Village VoiceMeave GallagherVillage VoiceMeave GallagherDeschamps never ventures below the surface of Redzepi's wildly successful experiment, and while the pictures are pretty, no one judges food on appearance alone.
- 38New York PostSara StewartNew York PostSara StewartI’ve never seen a restaurant documentary that seemed less interested in showing the joy of food.
