"The best parodies start with great titles. So Young Jean Lee’s hysterically funny 'Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven' is perfect...politically incorrect...directed brilliantly."
— New York Times

"[Lee] piles her deconstructive scorn upon ethnic stereotypes in Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven, a sweet-and-sour parade of Asian minstrelsy and race-baiting that culminates in a perverse, soul-baring love scene between two caucasians."
— Time Out New York
