United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"How Neville, Malmberg and their team manage to make all of this cohere together over four free-form episodes is slightly unbelievable (...) [It] leaves you both enlightened and a little woozy (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Morgan Neville creates a beautiful meditation on ingenuity (...) The biopic elements of 'Shangri-La' are pretty fun"	POS
United States	Josh Modell AV Club	"'Shangri-La' is far better when it grapples less with facts and more with the transcendent power of music (...) There’s enough fascinating history in this place"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"[Neville] manages to illuminate Rubin’s elusive genius (...) What resonates most in 'Shangri-La' (...) is Rubin’s authenticity, his ability to connect with whoever happens to be in his studio"	POS
