	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Leo Benedictus The Guardian	"Hicks was a major talent – raw, angry, sincere, unhappy, weeping and yelling at a complacent world"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Seeing it again now forces one to admit the ways Hicks's very influential act has not aged well."	NEU
United States	Matthew Love Rolling Stone	"His painfully clever excoriations of social shortsightedness and evaluations of missile-happy American soldiers in Gulf War I show off not only Hicks' skill and patience in executing jokes, but also his foresightedness"	POS
