Mar 27, 2019 | Full Review… Breia Brissey Entertainment Weekly Top Critic This season has been a big comeback in terms of the talent, the clarity of the format, and the quality and enthusiasm of the guests on the panel. Mar 26, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Donna Bowman AV Club Top Critic The show was so much more than a matter of winning or losing, it drove home the deeply emotional reasons why these contestants battle so ferociously to try to make it in a physically draining profession... Mar 27, 2019 | Full Review… Michael Slezak TV Line I know it's a reality TV and competition show trope that every season must strive to be better than the last one, and this one certainly was the best season yet. Mar 26, 2019 | Full Review… Patrick Hodges CinemaBlend Nigel [Lythgoe] is as watered-down a version of Simon Cowell as ever, Mary Murphy still calls herself "hot tamale" and we still get to see some of the most incredible undiscovered talent in the dancing world.
