Observing the prop-strewn set one can only speculate on who has the tidiest room in the Jones household. It definitely won’t be a dull place.
— North West End UK (4 out of 5 stars)
The hour is consistently inventive and very funny, its abundance of ideas held together by Jones's command of rhythm, escalation and bathos.
— Broadway Baby (4 out of 5 stars)
Jones is less of a character comedian and more a shapeshifter, inhabiting different worlds in momentary bursts. It’s joyful and irreverent but at the same time poignant and oddly cathartic.
— The Skinny (4 out of 5 stars)
