— The Hollywood Reporter said that the Brett Ratner-directed documentary defied predictions that it would bomb "based on empty, or nearly empty, seat maps in cinemas across the country". The film, which follows Melania Trump as she prepared to re-enter the White House in early 2025, was beaten at the box office by two horror films: Iron Lung and Rachel McAdams's Send Help. But it managed to beat out action film Shelter. The Hollywood Reporter described it as an "expensive propaganda doc" and "a film that fawns so lavishly over its subject that you feel downright unpatriotic not gushing over it". In trailing credits, it added, the first lady's achievements are rolled "in such laudatory fashion that North Korea would blush".
