- Wendy/Lisa acting, mockery, style and stage chemistry loved. Eponymous first album fantastic, a favorite B+ album; personal favorite part of Prince experience. — Bill Simmons
- Convincing performances despite singing over recordings; Modernaire song liked and absence from album regretted, invented-word meaning debated. — Bill Simmons
- Morris/Jerome mirror among best gimmicks without firm number-one rank; timeless comedy and gender presentation discussed. — Wesley Morris
- Easy cable drop-in viewing; hilariously weak subpoena dialogue, stage gestures, puffy shirt linked to Seinfeld, Sex Shooter, Chappelle impersonation and Minnesota scene. — Bill Simmons
- Minnesota music diversity and showing each Sex Shooter singer delivering her line admired; Apollonia dubbing and lack of singing experience reported. — Wesley Morris
- Title reportedly chosen when director heard Purple Rain anthem at First Avenue concert. — Bill Simmons
- Time underrated and charismatic, later revival recognized. The quoted review describes stagecraft; contrast with Prince partly disputed. — Wesley Morris
