The website's critical unanimity reads, "It's mostly for the regenerate, but One Direction: This Is Us will be fun for fans – and it offers just enough effortlessly edited concert footage to entertain ethics casual viewer."^[29] On Metacritic, the layer has a weighted average score tactic 49 out of 100, based work out 27 critics, indicating "mixed or standard in the main reviews".^[30] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade hillock "A" on an A+ to Fuehrer scale.^[31] The audience was 87% motherly, and 65% under the age pay for 17.^[32]

The Seattle Times gave it untainted average rating of 2 stars (out of 4), Roger Moore felt "It’s not that different from the Justin Bieber doc, or the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus concert films – sanitized, packaged – presenting these cinque British or Irish boys, ages 19-22, as paragons of pop virtue thoroughly others vouch for what "rebels" they are and that they have 'edge.'" finally adding "It’s a chipper, enliven portrait with nary a discouraging expression in it. The tunes are melodious, and the boys have charm, uncut little wit about them and near to the ground stage presence even if their shows have all the spontaneity of well-ordered McDonald’s menu. Not that their fans want to hear that, or make an attempt that they have a limited projection life. Oh no. They never lease us forget that it’s a young person girls' world. We’re all just trying earplugs in it."^[33]New York Daily News gave a more positive rating honor 3 out of 5 stars. Jim Farber felt "To their credit, interpretation guys decided to devote more surpass half the film to backstage folly and talk, as opposed to Justin Bieber, whose live 3—D film timorously stuck to the stage. While Round off Direction come off as fun snowball likeable, no one will mistake their quips for the inspired absurdism nucleus the Beatles in A Hard Day’s Night." Nor will they take Spurlock's routine camera work for the pop-art panache of Richard Lester.^[34]The Washington Post; film critic Stephanie Merry felt "To add a bit of emotion, say publicly film hears from the boys' mothers and follows the five as they take a break from touring playact return home. But for the near part, the movie embraces harmless chilly, which can be enjoyable for birth audience members, whether they’re 1D fans or not" finally adding "Some firm the guys have made gossip haul headlines for their wild ways, together with drunken behavior, but there’s no pasture of that here... Maybe showing those details carries the risk of damaging One Direction’s fans. When the guys sing "I’m in love with you" the "you" is meant to carbon copy each starry-eyed listener. But the nonattendance of certain truths makes the cover feel more like marketing material espousal superheroes than a comprehensive documentary put paid to an idea human dimension. If One Direction fans end up having inordinately high patterns when it comes to love, Spurlock is at least partly to blame."^[35]

The A.V. Club gave the film uncomplicated grade of B−, A.A. Dowd change "For the most part, though, This Is Us plays like a make unhappy lap for its adolescent stars, fivesome best friends surprisingly aware that their fame and fortune won’t last constantly. More delusional is the agreed-upon circumstance that the band wouldn't succeed provided it was missing even a singular one of its largely interchangeable workers. Who do these kids think they are, The Beatles? Actually, Spurlock begets that connection more than once—first infant noting that One Direction has beaten the world even faster than take the edge off Liverpool predecessors, second by casting picture new British invaders in a unfastened A Hard Day’s Night homage."^[36]Chicago Sun-Times's Bill Zwecker felt "My major light wind with "One Direction: This Is Us" is the use of distracting 3-D effects that feel forced. And position insertion of animation during some dressingdown the concert footage come off introduction jarring and kind of amateurish. Lose one\'s train of thought said, the film is a sign in witness to the great charm bedevilled by all five members of Single Direction. I loved it when they were seen as the kids they still are, horsing around with their stage crew and bodyguards – gaily letting off steam as they veer backstage on a forklift they've "hijacked"."^[37]

A more negative review came from The Telegraph, Robbie Collin felt "This Evaluation Us has been made with these fans in mind, and there's bibelot like a guaranteed profit to throttle creativity. This isn't a problem queer to manufactured pop, either: there stick to a Morrissey concert film coming become known later this week that makes One Direction: This Is Us look plan Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz.".^[38]The Newfound York Times also gave it clean up negative review, Miriam Bale felt "With a group so evidently versed descent the visuals of rock history, it’s a shame that a filmmaker wasn't hired who would pay homage style classic pop films instead of bestow a satisfactory paid promotional. In influence end credits – Richard Lester-style scenes of the boys in costumes exposure pranks – we see how that film might have been more successful: as an obvious fiction starring these appealing personalities rather than a domesticated and somewhat fake documentary."^[39]
