Ben Kengisberg of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' gave the film a positive review writing: "But a contemplative tone, a zigzagging narrative, superb widescreen black-and-white cinematography and an infusion of dry humor make it feel genuinely fresh. Critical nurturing could help this moody, offbeat indie find its audience."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://variety.com/2015/film/reviews/sxsw-film-review-creative-control-1201452554/|title=SXSW Film Review: ‘Creative Control’|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|first=Ben|last=Kengisberg|date=March 14, 2015|accessdate=March 24, 2016}}</ref> Eric Kohn of [[Indiewire.com]] gave the film an A and a positive review writing: "At times, 'Creative Control' feels just a touch overstylized for its own good, with a few too many slo-mo bits set to classical music to remind us of the refined environment at every turn. Even then, however, the overstatement plays into the movie's favor by elaborating on the illusion of perfection created by twenty-first century machines. Visually scrumptious and slickly told, 'Creative Control' illustrates the power of groundbreaking technology while also indicting its extremes."<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://www.indiewire.com/article/sxsw-review-creative-control-is-a-fresh-and-exciting-sci-fi-cautionary-tale-20150314|title=SXSW Review: 'Creative Control' is a Fresh and Exciting Sci-Fi Cautionary Tale|publisher=[[Indiewire.com]]|first=Eric|last=Kohn|date=March 14, 2015|accessdateaccess-date=March 24, 2016}}</ref>
