Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 64% of 14 critics' reviews are positive.[4]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote, "In just 96 minutes, it captures The New Yorker's history, its influence, its daily mode of operation, and its mystique of serious delight... If you're a fan of The New Yorker and want a backstage tour of how the supremely refined sausage gets made, The New Yorker at 100 draws back the curtain in an enchanting way."[5] Gleiberman selected it as one of the 25 best documentaries of the year.[6]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the "Netflix doc is entertaining and star-studded, but the storied magazine deserved more depth."[7]
