Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

As leaps of faith go, yes. And faith--in visions both magical and musical--has everything to do with Eli Stone's divine appeal. Read full review

Tim Stack

In this warm, charming episode, the underappreciated legal show proves it's still fit to practice. Read full review

Rob Owen

A quality series that's the TV equivalent of comfort food, the emergence of Eli Stone from the Hollywood firmament may qualify as a minor miracle among more cynical viewers. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Like most ABC shows, Eli Stone could stand to prune its cast and deepen its writing. But that's focusing on the glass half empty. So let's just be glad that this good-hearted show made it through the previous TV season and "Big Shots" didn't. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Eli is hard not to like, whether or not you buy him as a prophet. Read full review

Verne Gay

Interesting detours, and a worthy show--but at times just a smidgen too self-righteous and melodramatic. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

The series as a whole has a much better sense of itself, and a more confident tone, since Eli, his colleagues, and the viewers all understand that the guy is in fact a visionary. The coyness of season one is gone. The show, cocreated by Greg Berlanti, nonetheless falls short of being destination television. Read full review

An actually feel-good show that isn't terribly trite and cheesy. This show manages just to make me smile and still want to watch, and that's something special in our tv landscape. It just makes you feel good.

Maybe I could enjoy this show if the dialogue weren't so hacky.
