"...Her mind skitters from subject to subject so often that no issue is really explored, and she shifts scenes frequently, it suggests attention deficit disorder. Individual scenes paint a brilliant portrait of a fragmented personality, and they're often funny, even if they fail to cohere. A last scene at an Over-Eaters Anonymous meeting finally connects up with the issues hinted at in the press releases, and ends with her defiantly announcing she's going home to gorge herself. One wishes that director Paul Stein had pinned her down, and encouraged her to confront her real issues."

"...If this is a rant about her own life, Ms. Edlow definitely needs those psychotherapists! Sugar Daddy needed a lot more sweetness to it. The only socially redeeming part about the play was that it was without an intermission. Given a choice of seeing this play again or having a root canal, I'd have the dentistry. Written for the shock value, the play definitely needs some sweetness and comedy."

"...Directed by Paul Stein, the whipped pace through Edlow's fluffy material rarely gives the audience an opportunity to savor each scene. Flying through one-sided therapy sessions, a date with a homeless man and car rides with her father, Fielding demonstrates a frenetic urban vapidity without any moments of realization."

"...Edlow's commitment to her character is priceless. As she is the writer, she had plenty of time to explore her character and was allowed endless freedom in making choices for the role. She's witty, real and positively insane."

"...When she has "conversations" with imaginary characters (this is a one-woman play), we don't necessarily know what the other person has said to warrant her snarky reply…but it doesn't matter; following the line of monologue is useless, as there is no point to it other than spurting obscenities that sound funny. In that, Ms. Edlow succeeds – because the audience does laugh."
