Reception

Jonathan Perry of the Boston Globe has described the film as "an elegy for a vanishing subculture...a lively, bittersweet film that examines - with caustic humor, brutal candor, and, ultimately, great affection - why roughly 3,000 indie record stores have closed across the nation over the past decade."[5] Rob Young of Uncut called it a "a rounded and quietly impassioned elegy" for the communities that surrounded independent music stores.[6] Keith Carman of Exclaim! wrote, "However, while I Need That Record is interesting and well laid out enough to be worth a viewing, it's not exactly an epiphany."[7] Daryl Loomis of DVD Verdict described it as "overly wistful" but "definitely worth a watch".[8]
