Randee Dawn of ''[The Hollywood Reporter](/source/The_Hollywood_Reporter)'' says of the show, "A documentary [as opposed to a reality TV program] might have even explored the whiff of [dilettantism](/source/Amateur) hanging over the amateurs: To Thai women with limited career opportunities, Muay Thai is a way of life. For Americans, it's a means to opening a gym."
