The greatest undesirable changes noted were a weight gain of eight pounds during his "high" month and a significant decrease in his ability to do mental mathematics.

The end credits contain a dedication to Michelle Benjamin, a friend of the filmmakers who was killed in a traffic accident involving a drunk driver.

[7] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter thought that the documentary consisted of Benson merely "expanding a bit from his stand-up act to strained results".

Scheck wrote, "Super High Me mainly is an excuse for a series of comic riffs from its undeniably amusing subject who apparently is a favorite among the stoner crowd."

[8] Mark Rahner of The Seattle Times wrote, "Benson's [stunt] isn't as much of a revelation [as the one in Super Size Me], and it's more amiable than funny."

While Rahner applauded the on-screen graphics as "professional caliber", he found the video footage to be "distractingly poor".
