The set's accompanying CD features live tracks and solo piano takes of tracks from The Reminder, along with live covers of songs by artists such as The Kinks and Peggy Lee, and two studio recordings of a new song, Look at What the Light Did Now, written by Little Wings.

Prior to its December 2010 home video release, the documentary screened at number of international fall festivals, including the 2010 Raindance Film Festival in London, CPH:DOX in Copenhagen, and the Pop Montreal music festival in Quebec. Look at What the Light Did Now marks both Feist's first official documentary and first official live album.

Reception

Look at What the Light Did Now received limited reviews upon release that were mostly positive. Music site Drowned in Sound gave the release 8/10, stating that it is "absolutely worth your time and attention," while at AllMusic, reviewer Andrew Leahey gave the release 3.5/5, commenting: "Feist sounds great throughout, with a quirky alto voice that, although imperfect, only seems to break at the right moments."

Meanwhile, film site Indiewire gave the film a B+ rating, stating that it was not a typical rock documentary. Reviewer Kimber Myers said it "sets itself apart with an aesthetic that veers between art film and hipster craft fair, a tone that perfectly matches Feist’s own music, itself a mixture of polished and smartly produced tracks and earthy, quirky additions".

Accolades

Look at What the Light Did Now won the 'DVD of the Year' prize at the 2012 Juno Awards in Canada,[4] and was nominated for the Sound & Vision Award at CPH:DOX in Denmark.[5]
