Akiva Gottlieb of the Los Angeles Times wrote that City of Gold "Offers an almost utopian vision of urban life in which good food can temporarily transcend borders of race, class and gender."[2] Rolling Stone's Peter Travers stated "In search of fresh culinary treasures, Gold travels the hidden corners of a too-familiar city and we get to fall in love with L.A. again."[3] According to Melena Ryzik of The New York Times, "The documentary does as much to demystify and yet romanticize Los Angeles as any Chandler novel."[4] Conor Bateman of 4:3 Film summed up that City of Gold is "A Love Letter to the art of discovery."[5]
