Leave your thoughts about Chris Rock: Tamborine.
| AV ClubDennis Perkins[Tamborine] sees Rock addressing his self-selected smaller audience with both less volume and more intimacy. |
| New York Magazine/VultureMatt Zoller SeitzChris Rock's first new stand-up special in ten years is called Tamborine, but it could have been called This Is How You Do It. |
| New York TimesJason ZinomanHe has honed this material, beefing up jokes and cutting out fat, and his comedy has become tighter, funnier if also slicker, shifting from a story of a comic struggling with demons to one describing how he once was lost and now he's found. |
| Yahoo! TVKen TuckerThe jokes here are tight and sharp -- they pierce your sensibilities while making you laugh, sometimes out of shock, sometimes out of ruefulness, and sometimes out of the rough wisdom that he's just shared. |
| GuardianCharles BramescoJust how good is he? He can singlehandedly spin a Tinder joke, modern comedy's successor to airplane food, into a deeply moving pledge of fidelity, honesty, and responsibility. |
| TIME MagazineAshley Hoffman[Rock's] willingness to derail the laughs shows a newfound vulnerability-all before he brings the act safely back to a funny zone. |
| Entertainment VoiceAlci RengifoChris Rock returns to us with things to say and share, with humor that serves as a nice respite as we ourselves march on and endure. |
| DeciderSean L. McCarthyRock now recognizes the importance of learning life lessons and accepting cold hard truths about himself... That's something some of his peers and those who look up to him in comedy would be wise to listen to and heed. |
| New YorkerVinson CunninghamFor all of Rock's fealty to hard fact and the disenchantments of experience, "Tamborine" is most exciting, and most unlike anything he's done before, when he gropes toward transformation. |
| The RingerAlison HermanRock has thus made his most personal special without ever getting that personal - a testament to his talents, not a criticism of them. |
