New York Post Adam Buckman
"Huff" is one of the best dramas on TV and easily the best one airing currently on pay cable. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Philip A. Stephenson
The unique amalgam of a show that "Huff" has been -- a sort of sampler platter of hyperbolic though realistic, sympathetic but often self-sabotaging characters -- retains its balance and tone quite well this season. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
Against everything else available to viewers, "Huff" is premium cable-grade content without the "wows" that justify the extra expense. |

Wall Street Journal Nancy DeWolf Smith
The language in "Huff" is still graphic and foul. What redeems it, as always, is the artful acting and occasional small scenes of quiet beauty. |

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman
[It is] a mess of unconvincing drama, and the acting veers from magnificent to quite poor. |

Variety Brian Lowry
The second flight of episodes shares much with year one -- showy [performances] tethered to uneven writing and a less-defined premise than those of other top pay TV dramas. |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
"Huff" got too heavy, and too predictable in its moroseness. Lying on the couch for more seems unnecessarily depressing. |

People Weekly Tom Gliatto
It feels less like Freud's fun house than an opportunity for one performer after another to launch into frenzied, vituperative speeches. [24 Apr 2006, p.39] |

Newsday Diane Werts
Despite the storylines' incessant emotional and psychological delvings, the result is an inert if not annoying muddle among unpleasantly profane people whose prospective salvation isn't worth wading toward. |

TV Guide Matt Roush
Huff is stubbornly inert, going all over the place tonally while going nowhere emotionally. |
