Reception
[edit]In a review of This Is Justin Bieber, The Sentinel's John Woodhouse "wasn't just about the singer drippily whining on about Christmas in a way that made you positively yearn for the return of the St Winifred's School Choir".[6] Sam Richards of The Sunday Telegraph called This Is Lionel Richie a "curious rockumentary-cum-puff-profile" in which he looks at Baltic Triangle in Birmingham and chats with Britain's table tennis team.[7]
