- 70The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAn all-access pass to an artist embarking on a new path, this is entertaining stuff – funny, disarming, even poignant. It's also jammed with terrific music.
- 60New York Daily NewsNew York Daily NewsDirector Andy Capper crafts a surprisingly moving story, particularly in Snoop’s reactions to the deaths of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur.
- 50Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenMore honest than you might expect a promotional piece such as this to be, but less self-investigative than you might like, you come away thinking there are much greater depths for Snoop Lion to plumb.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-TimesReincarnated seems more interested in showing us countless scenes of people smoking herb than in giving us details about the making of the album it purports to be documenting. Granted, Snoop is immersing himself in a culture where this is a customary process, but it gets old and tired very quickly.
- 50San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubSan Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubIt's a stoner movie all the way, with much deep thought but little active conflict.
- Capper's film feels like a making-of featurette spun out to documentary dimensions, just another component in the new album's marketing plan...In its simplest moments, though, Reincarnated presents an honesty that is its own reward. It shows us an old Dogg with no tricks.
- 40Time OutDavid FearTime OutDavid FearAnd though Capper captures a few truly intimate moments, like the star humbly participating in a Rasta ritual, the whole thing ends up feeling like a superficial cross between a starstruck version of Vice’s gonzo travelogues and a highly (ahem) stage-managed portrait of an artist in transition.
- 40Village VoiceNick SchagerVillage VoiceNick SchagerThe film is as lightweight as the ganja-puffing is plentiful, little more than a vanity project that allows its subject to wax philosophical on his past triumphs, tragedies, and spiritual development (aided by Louis Farrakhan) from gangland pimp to nonviolent family man.
- 25Slant MagazineSlant MagazineEssentially 90-minute promo video carefully orchestrated by the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg and his handlers.
