“A one-person play for theatergoers who hate one-person plays....Fans of this restaurant-reservationist comedy will not be disappointed...Under Jason Moore‘s otherwise spot-on direction, a few of Ferguson’s haughtier female callers get blurred. He’s better with the men...The two characters that emerge as most distinctive are Sam’s recently widowed father and his baby-carrying brother...There’s nothing funny about them, and they give the show real heart.”

“Jesse Tyler Ferguson is giving a master class in hysteria...This is a true, theatrical, palate-cleansing delight...The only questionable aspect of the production is the set…’Fully Committed’ is a laugh riot, and a thoroughly satisfying one. The star is as busy as one of those plate-spinners from vaudeville days, keeping things airborne as they throw more and more at him. Ferguson is a joy to behold, and — needless to say — fully committed to your hilarity.”

"Becky Mode’s one-person satire of social elitism doesn’t exactly offer burning insights, but it is very, very real and quite funny…In a tireless and nimble performance, Jesse Tyler Ferguson vigorously inhabits over a dozen characters…He comfortably commands an audience without mugging or showboating...But it's the more grounded characters who provide a sense of who Sam is, and save the show from being simply a collage of impressions and jabs at it’s-who-you-know culture."

“Ferguson, despite exhausting commitment to this demanding 80-minute comic showcase, is totally wrong for ‘Fully Committed’...Becky Mode’s invention requires...40-odd customers...Ferguson, alas, appears to have five, maybe six voices at his command...There are pleasures to be had...Every so often, Ferguson gets to burst into physical freedom and away from the nonstop demands of quick-change voices. In those moments, it feels good to welcome him back.”

"He's not the world's greatest impersonator, and, especially at the beginning of the 80-minute show, some of the characters blur together...But the show soon settles down, and, despite not being a virtuoso of voices, Ferguson uses his performing skill and endearing personality to create a very engaging evening…But what most broadens Mode's satire of contemporary restaurant culture into a very human story, as well, is Ferguson's extremely appealing performance."

“Ferguson, a five-time Emmy nominee, has given many a memorable performance in New York...This blissfully frenetic expedition takes things to a whole new level...Ferguson had help from a Juilliard dialect coach nailing all the different accents, and succeeds brilliantly…‘Fully Committed’ wraps on a note more satisfying than anything we imagine is actually cooked up at this ridiculous restaurant.”

"Mr. Ferguson takes on the task, and carries it off brilliantly...There is an arc to the proceedings, and the climax occurs just where it should, and leads to an ending that is satisfying and full of fun. And that’s what I think you’ll join me in feeling at evening’s end. It’s always satisfying and fun and exciting to discover a brilliantly talented comedian with star quality who is himself fully committed to knocking himself out for our pleasure."

“Ferguson uses the full space and his complete physicality, delving into an array of characters with impressive precision and focus...The problem is that the characters are all just that—characters, with over the top accents and big mannerisms. As performed by Ferguson and directed by Jason Moore, they’re caricatures who don’t always convince as human beings—even these human beings...Alas, the result feels a little underbaked.”
