	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] made its goofy eagerness to be liked, and its occasional raggedness, into assets."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[Smith] sang well (...) danced decently and acted wonderfully, bringing all of the sad hopefulness that makes Annie such a fundamentally winning character"	POS
United States	Noel Murray The New York Times	"After another challenging year, it was a treat to watch talented people sing and dance their way through a hopeful bipartisan fable."	POS
United States	Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly	"It's hard to mess up the winning score from Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, but NBC crafted a fantastic production with a stellar cast"	POS
United States	Valerie Complex Deadline	"It’s somewhere in the middle, with several positive elements and equally negative ones (...) While 'Annie Live!' doesn’t always fire on all cylinders, a story of hope and belonging is undoubtedly what the country needs right now"	NEU
United States	Patrick Ryan USA Today	"The reason that 'Annie Live!' works so well is due in large part to Smith's star-making performance, along with some memorable turns from her consummate castmates"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] delivered a little ray of sunshine heading into the holidays -- something forgotten by tomorrow, perhaps, but good enough for tonight."	POS
United States	Caroline Siede AV Club	"'Annie Live!' serves up TV musical perfection (...) Perfectly paced and anchored by Smith’s star-making breakthrough performance"	POS
