Breia Brissey Entertainment Weekly Season 8 seems to be off to a good start. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Donna Bowman AV Club This season has been a big comeback in terms of the talent, the clarity of the format, and the quality and enthusiasm of the guests on the panel. Rated: B+ Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line The show was so much more than a matter of winning or losing, it drove home the deeply emotional reasons why these contestants battle so ferociously to try to make it in a physically draining profession... Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Patrick Hodges CinemaBlend I know it's a reality TV and competition show trope that every season must strive to be better than the last one, and this one certainly was the best season yet. Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Caroline Evans Houston Press Nigel [Lythgoe] is as watered-down a version of Simon Cowell as ever, Mary Murphy still calls herself "hot tamale" and we still get to see some of the most incredible undiscovered talent in the dancing world.
