Reception Critical response
Robert Daniels of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "While Who Killed the Montreal Expos? is light on the actual baseball, it doesn't forget the fans. The footage of the final Expos home game on September 29, 2004 leaves a lump in your throat. The images of fans and reporters crying sinks in your gut, making their still unbearable pain tangible."
