	Author	Review
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"This isn't an easy movie to watch, but even at its most bleak, the scenes between the long-estranged mother and daughter are beyond poignant."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"If it’s a flawed exploration of the old nature-vs.-nurture debate, the players and Mei’s predicament consistently make it interesting."	NEU
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"'One Child' (...) falls short of riveting viewing."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"While the miniseries is sometimes compelling and belatedly rises closer to its potential in the final third of the second night, it’s a sad case of great talent being wasted on badly handled material."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Both the writing and the directing fall short in 'One Child', leaving good actors to work with material that’s mostly not there and viewers reminded of the fact that good intentions are not always enough."	NEG
