	Media	Author	Review
		Marlow Stern Rolling Stone	"John Mulaney makes beautiful comedy out of his addiction struggles"
		Imogen West-Knights Slate	"It's funny. Mulaney has very much still got it"
		Alison Herman Variety	"'John Mulaney: Baby J' is not any more or less rehearsed than any other John Mulaney special —or any other stand-up special, full stop"
		Jason Zinoman The New York Times	"Mulaney's comedy (...) has become spikier, pricklier, sometimes slower while remaining as funny as ever"
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"A comedy special that cannot help but rebuild every single wall it wants to break down"
		Hillary Busis Vanity Fair	"Its confession is confident, calculated, creating distance between performer and audience even as it invites us to listen. In some ways, that's a blessing"
		Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"John Mulaney has built an empathetic yet hilarious stand-up special in which we witness greatness in front of our eyes (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Lili Loofbourow The Washington Post	"The comedian's special, 'John Mulaney: Baby J', promised to be a raw look at his demons. It's hilarious, but it's not that"
		Sean L. McCarthy Decider	"He’s still a gifted and often hilarious storyteller. No matter what story he’s selling us"
		Michelle Cohn Paste Magazine	"We don't get to choose how and when our favorite artists evolve. Though in the light of how severe his issues were, I'm just glad he's still here"
