Reception
| "Like Roberto Rodriguez, who fashioned his The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D screenplay from his offspring's story, Draper has modeled her scenario on her sons' actual behavior and musical compositions, set within the cliched rise-and-fall structures of VH-1's 'Behind the Music' bios." |

The film won the audience award for a family feature film at the 2005 Hamptons International Film Festival. It also received a nomination at the Young Artist Awards in 2008 for Best Television Movie or Special. When it premiered on the network, it was seen by an average of 2.7 million viewers. The song "Crazy Car" was downloaded more than 100,000 times on iTunes; it was placed on the Billboard Hot 100 charts for seven weeks and the track was featured on the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice, Vol 3.
Ronnie Sheib of Variety wrote: "Convincingly faithful to kids' rhythms and speech patterns, and featuring several catchy if one-chorus numbers, this bouncy, feel-good kidpic, with targeted release strategy, could rock peers and parents alike." Felicia R. Lee from The New York Times called the film "an ebullient mock documentary". Tami Horiuchi of Amazon.com said that this "funny spoof of the Hollywood rockumentary genre is so over-done that some viewers might find it distasteful, offensive, and/or inappropriate for children" and recommended an age group between the ages of 9 and 13.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
