Overall the film falls flat.

"Shut Up" is graceful in its depiction of the performance, neither uncomfortably intimate nor shy.
Jon Caramanica, New York Times

Murphy is one hell of a frontman, and LCD Soundsystem is a deliriously exciting concert act.
Steven Hyden, AV Club

Shut Up and Play the Hits manages to effectively display the power of that final concert while putting the band's leader into thoughtful cultural perspective.
