"Full of fantastic routines."

—

IGN

"He successfully walks a fine line, being punchy without offending."

—

Empire Magazine

"Like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and dozens of other comedians before him, Chappelle is incredibly interested in the contextual power of words."

—

A.V. Club

"It's premature to dismiss Chappelle's Show after one subpar episode, it's worth a second chance on the host's cred alone..."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"A prankster with a mile-wide grin, Dave Chappelle knows no bounds when it comes to machine-gunned ridicule."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"What fuels this spotty but often funny sketch-comedy series is a kind of laid-back indignation, a refusal to believe that ignoring racial differences will make anyone's life better."
