"(Director Matthew) LaChiusa has chosen a fine cast and he has them working at high speed, allowing no cartoon characterizations, keen at underscoring what appealing times exist, adept at emitting cringe and running with it. Thomas LaChiusa is again superb...As Carmichael, he’s perfectly despicable; Candice Kogut and Shabar Rouse are Marilyn and Toby respectively, a slimy couple, made for each other; well-played, physical roles. Stalwart Nick Lama is Mervyn, the wild-card in all of this, delusional - dangerously so - whose mediation skills are suspect." -The Buffalo News
