    • 1994 July 8, Albert Williams, “Dressing Room Divas; Camp Killspree”, in Chicago Reader:
      A potentially funny 15-minute skit dragged out to an hour, Killspree spoofs two entertainment genres: teen makeout horror films, with their propensity for shock effects at the expense of plot and character development, and late-night gay plays like the long-running Party (playing right next door), parodied in Killspree's peppy camaraderie, safe-sex sermonizing, gratuitous nudity, and simulated screwing.
    • 2007 August 26, Lynn Harris, “Lying and One-Night Stands”, in New York Times:
      Sussman’s defense of **** feels dated (its superb evocation of adolescent makeout sessions notwithstanding); Daphne Merkin’s reflections on the ****, while canny in form, are indulgent in content.
