The conservative National Review referred to the documentary as The Ronnie Earle Movie.
The filmmakers were interviewed on The Big Buy DVD; they noted that they had not been given access to secret testimony, evidence, or anything that was not publicly accessible. Earle gave them "extraordinary access" to personal interviews but DeLay reportedly refused to meet with the filmmakers.
