The Editor-in-Chief The Village Voice described the statements by Rathbun about the use Cruise's confessional files as "some the most damning statements against his former employer." Lynn Hayes Beliefnet discussed the revelations by Rathbun, writing, "Religion in any form provides a solid structure that can fer comfort and security, and departure from that security can be frightening and painful. As humans we always have a choice, and it will be interesting to see how Tom Cruise and the Church Scientology manage this revelation." El Tiempo commented, "Although Tom Cruise is a staunch supporter and defender Scientology, apparently other members this doctrine do not press the same devotion to the actor."
