	Author	Review
United States	Bill Edelstein Variety	"Coming-of-age drama delivers some laughs, but loses its way when things gets serious."	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'Small Time' is agreeably sentimental meat-and-potatoes fare with strong dashes of humor, executed with a sincerity that’s hard to resist."	POS
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"'Small Time' has its heart in the right place, but its screenplay’s in serious need of a tuneup. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU

United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"His (Surnow) unfocused script swerves all over the road, but Christopher Meloni and Dean Norris repeatedly get things back on track. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
