"Critic's Pick! Fascination never flags and delight never dims! And the major factor in that fascination and delight is a cast of 21 players, none of whom is less than excellent."
- ( Backstage West )
 
"Critic's Choice! A big-cast, period-faithful, and highly entertaining cop classic. Lamb's director Robert Smyth has assembled a cast of 20 for this vivid, sprawling 1949 Sidney Kingsley play."
- ( San Diego Union-Tribune )
 
"Critic's Pick! David Cochran Heath, a Lamb's mainstay for decades doing some of his best work ever! Smyth and a 21-member cast turn the Lamb's stage into 1949. To single out actors would be unfair to the ensemble, each of whom contributes to one of Lamb's best shows!"
- ( San Diego Reader )
 
"Lamb's Players Theatre opens its 2003 season with a bang-bang, delivering a spellbinding and well-produced staging of the 1949 police station classic."
- ( North County Times )
