United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"There are moments throughout the two-hour premiere of HBO’s pop-music drama “Vinyl” that will make you sit up and say, oh, yeah, Martin Scorsese directed this. (...) The “Vinyl” pilot isn't great Scorsese (...) But its best parts stand comparison to pretty good Scorsese"	POS
United Kingdom	Brian Moylan The Guardian	"The two-hour premiere is absolutely stunning. You get all of the Scorsese trademarks"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Vinyl's' premiere, which is plenty movie-like, could arguably stand alone as Scorsese’s most satisfying film since 'The Departed'"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Ferocious' is actually a fairly good word to describe both Cannavale’s stellar turn and Vinyl’s two-hour premiere directed by Scorsese"	POS
United States	Don Kaplan New York Daily News	"Any fan of Scorsese's’ 1990 master work, “Goodfellas” will quickly see the mob film’s DNA here (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"The two-hour premiere is directed beautifully by Martin Scorsese, unfolding in terrain well-loved by the director — the mean streets of early 1970s New York City."	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"The pilot for the musical drama 'Vinyl' is one of Martin Scorsese’s best films"	POS
