This is suspense that goes well beyond that of most medical shows.
By Dorothy Rabinowitz FULL REVIEW

A mushy, messy, medical melodrama that's pretty much identical to a dozen other doctor dramas you've seen many times before.
By Adam Buckman FULL REVIEW

The declining but not yet flatlining EKG of their relationship is captured very nicely by Williams and Matchett, both giving strong, stoic performances. Everything else is too quiet, though. [25 Jun 2007, p.41]
By Tom Gliatto FULL REVIEW

Despite “Heartland’s” obviously good intentions and Williams’ likable presence, it’s difficult to find a pulse in this workmanlike drama.
By Maureen Ryan FULL REVIEW

It is every organ transplant storyline you've ever seen before on "ER" or "Chicago Hope" or elsewhere, told in the most unimaginative fashion possible, acted out by a competent group of actors not given much to play.
By Alan Sepinwall FULL REVIEW

In terms of concocting drama, the characters and situations don't strike sharply enough to break the skin, much less stir the heart.
By Brian Lowry FULL REVIEW

[A] treacly piece of tripe.
