Critical response
[edit | edit source]The premiere received generally positive reviews. The Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson called it a "fabulous and intimate" documentary and gave it four out of five stars.[4] Elizabeth Aubrey of The Independent similarly gave the premiere four out of five stars, finding it to be a "damning" critique of the music industry in the 1990s.[5] James Jackson of The Times gave the episode three out of five stars and concluded that it was "an intelligent bit of back-to-the-1990s nostalgia layered with dismay at the era's laddism."[6] The Daily Telegraph's Kat Brown also gave it three stars, finding the lack of input from the Spice Girls themselves to be a notable omission.[7]
