| In the Boston Globe of July 26, 2002, Erin Meister wrote, "Ultimately, the genuine connections the actors make with one another and the natural flow of dialogue make up for any technical flaws or inconsistencies. The nine women are a touching reminder that we all have our own, very different problems, but by relating to each other, we can come to terms with just about anything." |
