"Feels almost as fresh and disturbing as when it first saw the light of day in 1947...The three leads have all created beautifully rich performances, both as individuals and in their interactions with one another...All told, this fine production demonstrates with great clarity that 'All My Sons' holds up to this day, a remarkable work that was Arthur Miller's first breakthrough success two years ahead of 'Death of a Salesman.'"

"The Sonny Liston-sized wallop happened again when Tracy Letts, playing Joe in the current revival, uttered his 'all my sons.' He is saying the killer phrase in a Jack O’Brien-directed production that’s as close to perfect as it can be for any lover of Miller—and for any believer in the potential of theater to get to you where you live...In director O’Brien’s cast, they’re all flawless—the lead actors worthy of praise that could go on for many column inches."

"Arthur Miller’s surprisingly vital 72-year-old drama 'All My Sons,' now in a stirring Jack O’Brien–directed Roundabout Theatre revival...It seems selfish to want to see Letts do more and more stage roles when he could be writing more plays. But he’s so spectacular in 'All My Sons'—even in the simple, speechless act of reading a letter—that you can’t help but imagine him (and Bening) in, oh, say…'Death of a Salesman.'"

"Here, the parts fit together smoothly for maximum effect...'All My Sons' is a slow burn that devastates you by the end...Letts knows how to vary a light, comical mode with eruptions of rage and defiance, and his canny, muscular, ultimately terrifying performance is a master class in the banality of evil...I recommend this keen, satisfying revival, especially if you’ve never seen the piece before."

"Simultaneously a valentine to the kind of naturalism that the American theater does best, and a reminder that the virtues of the proverbial 'well-made play' when impeccably realized are never passé, this is a deeply moving and finely wrought production. Apart from the kudos owed to O’Brien, the other factor that sets this iteration apart is the utterly transcendent performance by Bening."

"It is as though the director does not trust the audience and feels that everything has to be underscored to help us understand the plot. This only diminishes the play's effectiveness as a both a tragedy and a cautionary tale. While Arthur Miller's 'All My Sons' still works as a very powerful indictment of capitalism in America, the Roundabout Theatre Company production makes it look much older than it actually is with all the emoting that goes on in the course of the evening."

"More powerful and relevant than ever...’All My Sons’ is indeed a melodrama mounted on a soapbox. But the eloquence with which its characters put forth the themes propelling all of Miller's plays retain their power and relevance, especially when stirring solidly staged and superbly acted as the Roundabout's current revival is.”

"Unfortunately, Roundabout’s newest revival isn’t able to carry the full weight of one of Miller’s more popular plays...Neither of these performances were helped by O’Brien’s blocking...One standout of the piece that deserves praise is the performance of Hampton Fluker as George...O’Brien’s 'All My Sons' doesn’t add new insight to the classic. Though still incredibly relevant to today’s audiences, the piece feels aged and dated in this production and doesn’t find a full life."
