A flawless duet of music and acting. Comedic, energetic, highly entertaining. ... Both script and music are compatible and the comedy is constant and appealing. I would highly recommend this delightful, entertaining musical.
- Stage Whispers

Witty and winning cabaret... brilliant... hilarious... striking and familiar.
- Theatre Press

"I encourage a work group trip to honour all the receptionists out there, and what it means to have 20 things going on at once on a given day. Reception is an entertaining honest production pulled off tirelessly and elegantly without any pretensions. It generates the right amount of laughs and applause, and Bethany Simon is a talent to watch."  - Daily Review
