(New York Times), "is like watching two hours of "American Idol" auditions" (New York Post), "this inoffensive song stack seems downright noxious." (Back Stage), "This musical cavalcade is a lot of fun" (Associated Press); "For Lovers Only," ..., begs the question: for lovers of what? Not for lovers of theater, certainly." (Variety).
