	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"Possibly a bit pompous, then, but also intelligent, original drama with personality."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"This handsome and interesting period piece (...) suffers from its languid pace, with a not-terribly-compelling mystery breathing only fitful life into the project."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A compelling look at race, class and jazz music in England during the 1930s (...) It’s a lusciously shot and brilliantly written and acted account"	POS
United States	Allison Keene Collider	"Ultimately, viewers are left with a tale that might not leave too much of a lasting impression, but was, like those garden parties or picnics on train, a pleasing respite."	NEU
United States	Jon Caramanica The New York Times	"[A] dignified and sometimes moving mini-series"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"It's rather enigmatic that the new Starz miniseries 'Dancing on the Edge' is so much less than the sum of its considerable parts"	NEU
