	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Honestly, thanks to Hudgens, Clemons and Dixon, I got close to all I needed out of Fox's 'Rent'"	POS
United States	Aisha Harris The New York Times	"Few moments from 'Rent: Live' evoked what made the show so special (...) It was disappointing. But clearly there was love in this production"	NEU
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"The magic just wasn't there (...) The energy was low, and the chemistry between many of the romantically linked characters lackluster."	NEG
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"I can’t remember the last time a live TV event on a major broadcast network made so many elementally wrongheaded decisions (...) It was a conceptual disaster"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"The producers offered an extraordinarily nice live flourish as a finale (...) Still, that highlight -- and the others mentioned -- weren't enough to compensate, finally, for the various ways that 'Rent' came up short."	NEG
