	Author	Review
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"Overcrowded with plot, character and intent, the production has an earnest theatricality that can be both charming and tedious."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"The more specific 'Mercy Street' gets about individual moral, political and psychological dilemmas, and the more it gives its finest cast members scope to display the more subtle aspects of their craft, the more winning it becomes."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Its writers aren’t working at the same level [as 'Downton Abbey'] when it comes to turning a phrase or developing a more than one-dimensional character."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The script occasionally wanders into 'Gone With the Wind'-style melodrama, but is always rescued by excellent performances. Among the best of the bunch are James, Radnor and Winstead."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Mercy Street’s' problem is an ineffable lack of cohesion and oomph. The blood is spilling, but the heart’s not pumping."	NEG
