Kim Newman of Empire gave the film a rating of 3 over 5 and wrote, The only film you’ll see this year with a limbless torso playing drums with animated entrails, this wickedly witty take on the seamy side of creative ambition is well worth a spin.[8]
2.5 over 5 rating was given by Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting and she said, Those on its wavelength won’t mind the rough edges or underdeveloped themes in this raucous comedy filled with enough moments and character beats to compensate. But the flaws will only become more evident if this type of humor isn’t for you.[9]
