"They brazenly address nearly every complaint any viewer or critic has suggested about Sex after all these years."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"Carrie and company may not be letting go at all. And that would be a bad thing."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"The show hasn't lost its charm or its sense of hopefulness."

—

The New York Times

"Only on television would such smart young women never think about anything else except hormones."

—

Vulture

"This season feels, understandably, a bit lost."

—

Vanity Fair

"Written and shot before Sept. 11, [...] these installments [...] reflect an increased seriousness and longing for meaning that is wholly appropriate to the times as well as to the city."
