Aside from the opening several minutes, Burr's whole set is like that: thoughtful, surprising, introspective. He keeps yelling, of course.

National Review

Burr has the gift of being surprising, of resuscitating a done-to-death subject... Still, some bits work better than others.

The Daily Dot

He excels at reducing benign and thorny topics down to their roots to find a laugh.

Rated: 3/5

[Bill] Burr is equally the guy who thinks it's funny to tease feminist protestors and the man fighting his own devil to be a good father. He doesn't have to be right, he just has to be funny, and Paper Tiger is a furious work of art.

Rated: 8.5/10

For all the talk of Burr wanting to "trigger" people, his most outrageous bits never feel edgy enough to pack the desired punch.

if you go along for the ride, then you'll still be with Burr when he pivots to make broader points that you may find yourself agreeing with, despite any initial reluctance to do so. That's his particular set of comedy skills, working once more.

Best special of his in years. I don't agree with all his opinions but they are usually funny.

Solid. Very enjoyable throughout the entire special. Perfect blend of dark, gross, and classic humor. A great example of Burr's ability.
