Mostly, "A Man Within'' is a breezily stylized, very enjoyable trot through the writer's life, theme by theme, era by era.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

There is not a word or image wasted in a documentary you wish ran an extra half-hour beyond its condensed 90 minutes.
Stephen Holden, New York Times

Leyser's collation of interviews and stock footage is polished enough to effectively perpetuate the Burroughs legend.
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

At a mere 88 minutes, it feels a bit glancing. But as an introduction or refresher course, it gets the job done.
