Reviews run from brief <ref>{{cite web | url=http://kellabyte.com/2013/07/09/lightning-memory-mapped-database/|title=Lightning Memory-Mapped Database|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314133119/http://kellabyte.com/2013/07/09/lightning-memory-mapped-database/|archive-date=14 March 2016}}</ref> to in-depth. Database developer Oren Eini wrote a 12-part series of articles on his analysis of LMDB, beginning July 9, 2013. The conclusion was in the lines of "impressive codebase ... dearly needs some love", mainly because of too long methods and code duplication.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://ayende.com/blog/162754/reviewing-lightning-memory-mapped-database-library-partial|title=Reviewing Lightning memory-mapped database library: Partial}}</ref> This review, conducted by a .NET developer with no former experience of [[C (programming language)|C]], concluded on August 22, 2013, with "beyond my issues with the code, the implementation is really quite brilliant. The way LMDB manages to pack so much functionality by not doing things is quite impressive... I learned quite a lot from the project, and it has been frustrating, annoying and fascinating experience".<ref>{{cite web | url=http://ayende.com/blog/162917/some-final-notes-about-lmdb-review|title=Some final notes about LMDB review}}</ref>
