Head Critic for The New York Times, Ben Brantley stated:http://theater2.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/theater/reviews/23brantley.html
“Tasty, bite-sized comedies. Nimbly directed by Neil Pepe. Theatergoers nostalgic for the urbane, mind-teasing divertissements that once flourished Off-Broadway should leave happily hungry. A dream team.”
Melissa Rose Bernardo from Entertainment Weekly stated:https://archive.today/20130122153325/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20173636,00.html
“Boisterous and fun [...] Coen couldn’t ask for a better production than this Atlantic Theater Company treatment.”
Linda Winer from Newsday Stated:http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/stage/ny-etsecw5547255jan23,0,4162294.story
“Gleeful, thoughtful and darkly loopy. These new, lean pieces mark the serious stage debut of a shrewd and weirdly endearing comic voice.”
