Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Tonally, "Private Practice" has not found its sweet spot. Dirty Sexy Money, on the other hand, has. The soap opera fully owns its soapiness. |

New York Post Linda Stasi
It is so over the top--in such a fantastically bad-taste way--and so out-there crazy, that tonight's episode (at least) is every bit as good as those old soaps. |

Time James Poniewozik
Its stripped-from-the-tabloids approach is nothing new, but it's well done, and a little familiarity won't hurt the show's chances. |

TV Guide Matt Roush
Watching Nick (Peter Krause), family lawyer and honorary Darling, struggle to preserve his soul while fixing the family's messes is such fun you can almost forget the show's such a gaudy anachronism. |

Entertainment Weekly Tim Stack
The campy, trampy series still boasts one of the best ensembles on TV, although this overstuffed episode feels like the show might now be more aptly titled Crazy Sexy Money. |

Newsday Verne Gay
Hilarious implausibility, overheated dialogue and enough soap to do several loads of laundry are part of its appeal. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
This moves the show closer to the "Dallas" model...It makes our lives simpler, though it does pressure the writers to come up with ever-more appalling behavior. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
After going through its share of growing pains, it now operates with clockwork efficiency. But the characters seem even more one-dimensional than they were last year. |
