"None of this stirs up much in the way of drama; instead, everyone passes the time making wry little jokes that are often deficient in wit and insight…The lack of urgency in her text and in John Augustine's direction does little to engage us in the characters' very mild problems, but at least the people on stage are pleasant…The best thing you say about 'The Hummingbird's Tour' is that it is cheerful as it searches, in meandering fashion, for a solution to its central non-problem."

"While the script isn’t entirely forgiving of its age—much of its dialogue feels rather creaky, and many of its discussions never reach their full existential potential—it does manage to inject what could be a rather stuffy premise with a hearty dose of humor…Though it may not be remembered as the most provocative or the most inventive piece of theatre out there, 'The Hummingbird’s Tour' is an entertaining diversion, and a sweet reminder of the importance of embracing life’s full potential."

"Playwright Margaret Dulaney does an excellent job of mixing comedy, philosophical notions and relatable family drama into one story. There was the occasional one liner that didn't quite land with the audience, but the general tone of humor flowed well throughout the story."

Her play needs a firm grip and a clear mind…It all starts with the play. This one is a mere wisp…It’s pleasant. And nice to look at. And nobody’s a bad person. Pass the sour cream and onion potato chips."

"A fantastic, wonderful, kind of escape, 'The Hummingbird’s Tour' ultimately feels empty of any real emotional connections. The only real believable relationship between characters is that of the three siblings to their childhood nanny, which can be attested more to the chemistry between actors than anything else...It looks and sounds magnificent; the set alone makes you want to get up and explore the stage to find all of the little details that went into this creation."
