In addition, the filmmakers interviewed surviving family members, including Ayler's father Edward and brother Donald, and associates such as drummer Sunny Murray, double bassist Gary Peacock, and photographer and writer Val Wilmer.The film met with mixed reviews when released in Sweden in 2005, but was praised by UK and US critics when theatrically released in those countries in 2007. Metacritic gave the film 83/100 based on reviews from 7 critics, and awarded it the 19th best film from 2007. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 94% based on reviews from 17 critics.My Name Is Albert Ayler was director Kasper Collin's first feature documentary.
