| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittAn entertaining look at a genuinely offbeat subject. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckHighly entertaining and frequently fascinating. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWhat makes Lipstick & Dynamite its own animal is that, intentionally or not, the director has allowed something else into the mix, a glimpse of the unvarnished and the unsanitized. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinWhat a gutsy, sad, seize-the-day, glorious life it was for the women warriors of Lipstick & Dynamite. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghGenerous, slyly tough-minded documentary. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasLeitman gets some wonderful tall tales from her subjects, who open up like they've been waiting for years for someone to come along and ask, and she complements it with punishing footage of their exploits. |
| VarietyDavid RooneySmart assembly of terrific archive footage is matched by spirited interviews with the tough old broads today. |
