 Justin Chang of the "Los Angeles Times" wrote, "The director Ryan White (""The Keepers"") has fun exploring all that gimmicky pop-cultural detritus, and he also drops in a few greatest-hits montages covering Westheimer's rise to fame, including her interviews with Arsenio Hall and Conan O'Brien, who seem alternately delighted and alarmed by her uninhibited sex talk".Daniel Fienberg of "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote, "America's favorite diminutive sex therapist gets a crowd-pleasing documentary treatment that traces her life from Holocaust survivor to beloved media figure".Chance Solem-Pfeifer of the "Willamette Week" wrote, "Filmmaker Ryan White tries out a half-dozen different documentary approaches—fly-on-the-wall portraiture, media criticism, childhood psychology, staged reunions—and ends up with a film conspicuously less intriguing than its subject".
