“D'Elia shifts between multiple parts, pulling faces, cracking wise, doing funny walks and quirky voices. But unlike Lily Tomlin or Whoopi Goldberg, whose celebrated one-woman shows found them sequentially embodying each of several roles in a series of discrete monologues, D'Elia pops in and out of her dozen or so characters, often generating rapid-fire banter between them, as she builds an overarching narrative with the appealing shagginess and speed of improv sketch comedy.”
— Jim Gladstone, Bay Area Reporter
