Winer in Newsday is surprisingly rather postitive (if slightly sarcastic in tone at times):
"Somers has a likeable, ebullient, up-for-anything quality, which serves her well in another repetition of her oft-told, best-selling saga of her alcoholic father, her teen pregnancy, her arrest for check bouncing, her married boyfriend, her surprise breakthrough as a silent blonde in a Thunderbird in the 1973 movie "American Graffiti" and, of course, her jiggle-TV stardom as Chrissy on "Three's Company." This is the sort of event in which people clap when told how many years she has been free of breast cancer and how many years she has been married to the man who, at first, neglected to tell her about his wife and children."

Variety is negative:
"David Rooney of Variety: "Self-absorption masquerading as self-exploration and self-irony, this so-called 'one-woman musical joyride' chronicles Somers' evolution from zero self-esteem to a level that's surely off the chart… Suzanne then promises, and delivers, the good, the bad and the ugly. The good is the short running time and pre-10 p.m. exit; the bad is everything between first entrance and final bows, except for an occasional climb into mediocrity. And the ugly? Those pants! Let's just say a certain expression pertaining to dromedary hooves can never be far from the minds of those sitting down front."

The Journal News is Negative:
"But the moment that really hits home with much of the audience is a lighthearted one, when Somers brings out a pushcart laden with not just her books but the dizzying array of Somers stuff she sells on the Home Shopping Network, including "the granddaddy of them all — the Thighmaster!"
If you notice that Somers' laughter is weirdly derisive here, no matter.
Just keep laughing, and buy something.
It's the American way."

The New York Post is Mixed-To-Negative:
"The story is obviously courageous, but its telling is remorseless — with stridently sung Broadway show tunes inserted inside the upbeat, relentlessly perky monologue.
I found the show smug, but she has guts, and I'm sure if you really, truly love Suzanne Somers, you'll like her show. But if you just like Suzanne Somers, maybe you should think about not going.
Billy Crystal she's not."
