Critical reception

The Guardian website said "Fifteen years of hard work and evolution have created an apparently effortless honesty that is fluent and heartfelt. Louis CK is the voice of resignation."[6]

The special holds a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on user ratings.[7]

gollark: Also, you'll get bored.
gollark: Well, you don't actually have either in practice.
gollark: I suppose you *could* just use reasonably small rocks.
gollark: Consider: the osmarks.tk primary server has 1TB of storage, This is 8 trillion bits. At 1 rock per bit, the standard, you need 8 trillion rocks! This is not practical.
gollark: The problem is the large quantity of rocks required.
