Ginia Bellafante New York Times One Tree Hill is a no-arrogance, no-entitlement zone, and I'm (shamefully) happy to pull up and park. Jan 8, 2008 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety The new structure is rife with dramatic possibilities -- allowing them not only to deal with this altered reality but flash back when it suits them to events we've missed. Jan 8, 2008 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel It isn't saying much, but the flash-forward edition actually works better than the last couple of seasons. Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) It's just as ridiculous and downright dumb as it ever was. Jan 8, 2008 Full Review Rachel Kipp PopMatters If a television show's success is based on how many of its episodes are memorable, One Tree Hill is ultimately losing the game. Rated: 4/10 Jan 8, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
