Season 1 Review: Show is cast better than it deserves, with Williams gamely in for film's Susan Sarandon, Polly Holliday nicely restrained as Momma Love and Ossie Davis noble as the friendly judge who pops up all over the place. [15 Sept 1995]

Washington PostTom ShalesMay 29, 2014
Season 1 Review: A first-rate movie thriller has been turned into a second-rate TV show, but upper-second-rate, not lower. And among this season's new entries, with one or two exceptions, second-rate is about as good as things get. [16 Sept 1995, p.D01]

Season 1 Review: Viewers shouldn't be fooled into expecting more than a conventional lawyer show. [16 Sept 1995, p.8E]

New York Daily NewsDavid BianculliMay 29, 2014
Season 1 Review: Williams, though, in both Sunday's telemovie and the subsequent Tuesday-night regular episode time-slot at 8, is too reserved and colorless. [15 Sept 1995, p.127]

Season 1 Review: Reggie doesn't need gunshots or explosions when she can talk her foes to death. [15 Sept 1995, p.53]

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonMay 29, 2014
Season 1 Review: The original pilot was a mess, confusing and annoyingly full of holes, but an extremely well-cast mess with a lot of potential. [17 Sept 1995, p.6C]
