| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinSomehow Levy - and her actors - avoid sentimentality and trite homilies. The Other Son explores the age-old nature vs. nurture divide, and ends up as refutation of ignorance and hate. |

| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsSome may scoff when the boys exhibit traits and interests derived from the biological parents they never knew, but The Other Son is such a disarming feat that cynics will get left at the checkpoint. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIn the end, it seems, this is not a story about two families, and two lands. It's a story about one family, and one world. |
