THE DAILY RECORD/ASBURY PARK PRESS - "PROBABLY THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE EVENING IS DELIVERED BY COMPANY VETERAN JAMES MICHAEL REILLY...HE IS NOT ONLY BEMUSED AND IRONIC, BUT ALSO A LITTLE MORE SELF-AWARE THAN THE OTHERS.  HIS PRE-WEDDING CONVERSATION WITH HIS NERVOUS SON-IN-LAW IS PARTICULARLY AMUSING." - Our Town - review

THE NEW YORK TIMES - "THE EVENING'S MOST REFRESHING MOMENTS COME FROM JAMES MICHAEL REILLY, WHO IS PRICELESS AS KULYGIN, MASHA'S CLUELESS HUSBAND.  KULYGIN IS A SCHOOLTEACHER, AND MR. REILLY'S PORTRAIT RECALLS EVERY OVERLY METICULOUS MALE TEACHER WHO HAS EVER ENTERED A CLASSROOM.  HIS COMIC TIMING IS PERFECT." - The Three Sisters - review

THE STAR-LEDGER - "IN A PLAY THAT DEPENDS ON PAIRS, ONLY ONE ACTOR HAS A PAIR OF ROLES - AND DOES EACH WINNINGLY.  HE'S JAMES MICHAEL REILLY, WHO FIRST DOES A FUNNY DOUGLAS MACARTHUR PARODY AS AN OFFICIOUS DUKE.  LATER, HE STEALS SOME SCENES AS A NOT-QUITE-COMPETENT CONJURER." - The Comedy of Errors - review

ROCHESTER CITY NEWSPAPER - "THE PLAY'S HUMOR COMES THANKS TO HERTZLER'S TIMING AND HIS INTERACTION WITH JAMES MICHAEL REILLY, PLAYING OILY REPORTER E.K. HORNBECK.  REILLY'S INTERPRETATION IS DEVILISH, HIS LITHE BODY, SUITED IN SHINING GOLD, SLIPS INTO NOOKS, MAKING HIM A CONSTANT OBSERVER." - Inherit the Wind - review
