Kevin Cen of "The Chronicle" cited the film as a masterpiece for its "insightful look into the mind of a rodent." "The underlying message of following one's dream and making food was especially profound to me," said Cen. "I believe that it gives commentary on the socio-economic troubles that we as humans face day to day." "The idea that a rat's dream for cooking can be so relatable shows the audience that cooking is universal." Cen says how "There is no language for food, you just eat it." From a rat's point of view, "humans are of the few who have taken food to a higher level." From a human's point of view, a rat is simply the "paradigm of egregious behavior." Nonetheless, humans and rats all share one similarity: a love for food. "This film encapsulates the notion that different species are not so different from one another." "I would have liked to see other animals making meals as well." "Would their cooking process be different?" "Is there a possibility that an animal could make a dish better than a human?" Cen wonders this and wishes for a sequel to the film. "Though, I'm satisfied with the movie's plot." "The whimsical idea of a rat becoming a chef shows the true determination that animals exhibit." "The film truly holds the audience for its duration and leaves them wondering one question: "Am I the rat or the human?"
