"...Jones isn't the only performance artist to play multiple personae, but her virtuosity puts her in a different category: She's so good it's almost creepy. She can - and does - persuasively replicate any accent the human tongue has developed, a gift in and of itself, but the accent is only a small aspect of each transformation."

"...Ultimately, Jones, as the British lecturer, shares her own story of Bonita, a woman at the Survivors Institute of London who inspired her to pursue her desire to "Fly" (a beautiful song written by Bray Poor) by encouraging other women to not let themselves be grounded in any type of life that is not fulfilling. As Jones finished the song, a much-deserved standing ovation greeted her as she left the stage as the lights faded."

"...Expertly directed by Carolyn Cantor, the evening breezes by. Jones's dialogue is always persuasive, her impressions about life well-observed, and her research for the piece was apparently exhaustive. All the facts feel right. But in a show where the students are asked to turn off their implanted "emotion dampers" to fully experience what the B.E.R.T. subjects are feeling, it's disappointing that whimsy and wit rule the day. I wanted to feel more, and the very device that glues the narrative together seemed to promise me I would."

"...Describing Sell/Buy/Date as "a one-woman show about people affected by the sex industry" sounds like it could be a painful experience - but the simplicity of those eleven words belies the complexity of this piece and its masterful rendering by writer/performer Sarah Jones at the Geffen Playhouse.
