"Plays as truthful and touching and fine as Amy Herzog's 4000 Miles come along once or maybe twice a season, if we're lucky - Ms. Herzog's gift is to capture the precise texture of life in all its ambiguity and lack of tidy resolution, while still holding our attention fast by tapping into the compassion and curiosity about human nature that draws us (let us hope) to the theatre."
The New York Times
"Everything about 4000 Miles seems fresh, particularized, plausible...easily the best play of the season"
Time Entertainment
"The sort of rich, satisfying play you should take your grandmother to - especially if she's as smart and fierce as Vera"
Time Out
"Herzog has a wry wit and a skillful hand with dialogue."
Washingtonian
"4,000 Miles by Amy Herzog is an exquisite play bursting with humanity, honesty and searing emotions cut through with razor wit and observations. An essentially simple story of love, loss and loneliness but the sincerity of delivery grabs at your very soul."
What's On Stage
"[Herzog's] characters and dialogue are full of quirky surprises, and she knows how to construct a scene that stays fresh and inventive right till the end. The second act of 4000 Miles contains the best new writing for the American stage I've seen in years."
