"Some portions are striking and fun (but) some feel like incomplete approaches to an idea that’s not fully there yet..."
Vulture"(Macdonald) seems focused yet at ease, enjoying both the tightness of certain phrases and the looseness of what's essentially an on-camera rough draft."
NPR"Without an audience’s laughter to accentuate his pauses, Macdonald’s intentional, uncompromising rhythm soon begins to feel introspective."
IGN"This last special is well worth a watch."
The Guardian"This poignant and hilarious goodbye from the master of the shaggy dog story is a must-watch."
Independent"54 minutes of fresh, funny, bittersweet, provocative and uniquely Norm comedy..."
Chicago Sun-Times"Macdonald managed to be somehow timeless, outdated, and very much of his time, all at the same time."
Decider"The posthumous release provides a fitting and deeply personal tribute, as well as a primer on the art of stand-up."
CNN"The special is filled with home-made charm."
