The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder
Mr. Drake can be rivetingly angry, intense, frenetic, frank and touching.

Village Voice Jessica Winter
Once Drake reaches the candlelight vigil that acts as his penultimate set piece, he sustains an impossible balance between mordant wit and articulate bewilderment.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
Drake draws us in, digging deep to track the occasionally divine, always ridiculous journey that is big-city gay life.

New York Post Hannah Brown
There's enough wit, intelligence and theatrical intensity at work in Larry Kramer to overcome an occasional tendency toward politically correct smugness.

TV Guide Ken Fox
It exudes a slightly stale air that does nothing to dispel gay stereotypes.
