Collected reviews and ratings

10 Rolling Stone | Rob Sheffield

Finally -- a DVD of the greatest New Wave concert film of all time. 101 is an essential Eighties time capsule, as Depeche Mode spread blasphemous rumors through America.

10 musicOMH | Ben Hogwood

This is an essential purchase for fans of Basildon's finest, and a reminder of the days when the unlikely lads were derided by their critics. Not any more!

10 Groove.no | Øyvind Adde

101 is an exceptionally well made music documentary, perfectly timed to - and perhaps even part of - the transition Depeche Mode made into a band for the masses. Stadium fillers. With great music, Spinal Tap moments, and uniquely private footage of the band and the people surrounding them, 101 offers unprecedented backstage access to a band on the cusp of musical legend. Very highly recommended.

8.0 DVD Talk | Randy Miller III

101 is a mixed bag. It's very interesting for hardcore fans, and is most likely a favorite of anyone who attended a Depeche Mode concert from that tour. However, it seems a bit light and fluffy at times, almost like a Road Rules episode that the band crashed...only much more funny.
