The documentary received mixed feedback from viewers. It was rated as moderately informative, with some interviews deemed irrelevant. The editing was average, though it flowed continuously with some minor jumps. Visually, the archive footage and opening titles were engaging but some sound issues occurred from music overpowering speech and background noise. The music, cutaways, and range of interviews were generally seen as fitting the theme well. Both the radio advert and print advert effectively advertised the documentary through relating to its theme, though some vox pops were overshadowed in the radio version.
