Season 1 Review:
When she isn’t addressing the elephant in the room—and her version is definitely a cute Dumbo of a pachyderm rather than a rampaging wild beast—the humor is so gentle it’s positively anemic. .... For DeGeneres to liken her failure to provide a safe and equitable work environment with homophobia and ageism displays an astonishing lack of understanding. And it certainly isn’t funny.

Season 1 Review:
If Ellen still cares what we think, her 70 minutes of standup might have been better spent by actually grappling with her peccadilloes, rather than using them to fan the flames of her own ego. While she tries to convince us that she's self-salvaged her reputation by caring just the right amount (which, by her definition, means not at all), "For Your Approval" seems to plead with its audience for exactly that.

Season 1 Review:
The problem with For Your Approval, aside from the fact that it is almost never funny, is that it feels so disingenuous, so calculated to rehabilitate an image and preserve that triumph for posterity. It’s less a comedy special, the best of which arrive at humor through honest insights, than a stump speech.
