The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley
It was not the most electrifying Emmy Awards night, but much of it was brisk and good-humored.
Read Full Review >VarietyPhil Gallo
A safe and uninspiring show that puttered along and got the job done with no sparks, planned or otherwise.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield
For the most part the more interesting new faces of TV were glimpsed more than seen, which contributed to the overall feel of a rote Emmys, an Emmys that could be happening any old year.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Though DeGeneres was as light and charming as she always is, the writing on the rest of the ceremony was not so good.
Read Full Review >San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
How do the historically boring Emmys get worse than their first five minutes, which seemed to have been scripted on a napkin in the limo on the way over? Easy.
Read Full Review >Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
A tepid ceremony nearly devoid of laughs, tears or even the political harangues that have become routine in recent years.
Philadelphia InquirerJonathan Storm
Reminiscences from John Travolta, Candice Bergen, Charles Dutton and Billy Crystal started the show slowly, and it managed to maintain that lack of momentum throughout.

As a telecast, the Emmys was sprinkled with some mighty stinky cheese.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
So frequently did the banter of Emmy presenters suck the air out of the room that the dismal introductory remarks became the award show's only running gag.
