reception

The New York Times called Jaco "an insightful, compassionate new documentary." Decider spoke of an “engaging and interesting documentary”, albeit a “musician” that could reduce its attractiveness. Bassist Billy Sheehan said it was "a wonderful movie," but said, "I think he might have focused a little more on some eccentricities than it could have been."
