Season 2 Review:
There is reason to be concerned about "I'll Fly Away." ... The [season premiere] plays like a high-road, night-time soap. [25 Sep 1992]

Season 1 Review:
Sam Waterston is terrific -- and rises above the melodrama. [28 Oct 1991]

Season 1 Review:
No doubt about it -- "I'll Fly Away" has much to recommend it ... But something is missing, or maybe it's a case of too much being added. "I'll Fly Away" seems to be so concerned with appealing to an audience on many levels, to mix heartwarming moments with social messages, that it bogs down far too often. [7 Oct 1991]

Season 1 Review:
"I'll Fly Away" makes it easy for us, relegating racism to a time and region that we can confront comfortably, steeping ourselves in self-righteousness as the series steeps itself in self-importance. ... Waterston and especially Harper give performances in these early episodes that bode well for whatever future "I'll Fly Away" has in its perilous time slot. But by the time the premiere has ended and Waterston gives his final pensive pause, you'll be the one wanting to fly away.
