Daniel Dylan Wray wrote at The Quietus that "It's using the documentary format as a means of executing subtle PR work, to present an image of a man under the guise of a warts-and-all film, all the while carefully controlling exactly what is revealed".{{Cite web |title=The Quietus {{!}} Opinion {{!}} Black Sky Thinking {{!}} Screen Wash: Are Music Docs Becoming Little More Than A PR Tool? |url=https://thequietus.com/articles/33575-pete-doherty-stranger-in-my-own-skin |access-date=2024-02-17 |website=The Quietus |date=6 November 2023 |language=en-us}}
