“The paradoxical thing about anarchy is that it takes discipline to pull off — and Dan Rothenberg's direction is, above all, disciplined… No matter how bizarre the dramatic events, a unifying company style (think George Romero apprenticing under George Abbott) keeps the action grounded.”
— Variety

“Absurd, unbalancing and exhilarating, Hell Meets Henry Halfway is a Tilt-a-Whirl of a show that leaves you dizzy and means to.”
— The New York Times
