	Author	Review
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"[It is] a tricky balancing act. 'What We Started' appears to have been conceived with contradictory audiences in mind."	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] fans-only doc (...) [Carl Cox and Martin Garrix] prove to be fine company, but neither seems doc-worthy (...) It basically ignores hip-hop's contribution to the art of the DJ"	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Though often entertaining, this dance music documentary never finds a deep enough groove."	NEU
United States	Craig D. Lindsey Village Voice	"'What We Started' is a cute roundup of how EDM came to be, but much like the DJs it shines a light on, it only scratches the surface."	NEU
