Here are some of Millen's reviews:

"An intelligent and thoroughly welcome sparkler "
- Nelson Mail

"Wonderful local comedy...witty, relevant and swiftly executed"
- The Dominion Post

"Millen Baird is making Friday nights a whole lot more fun "
- Sunday News

"Personal favourite character: Danny Denial, who greets all of life’s vicissitudes with a nonchalant “Nah”..... Mr Denial could be the poster boy for a deluded nation"
- The Listener

"Makes a lot of other Kiwi stuff on TV look very pallid indeed"
- The New Zealand Herald

"An ingenious one man show….what makes it a more substantial work is Baird's capacity as writer and actor to probe the less obvious truths of human existence and create a complex web of human failings and quiet strengths. That he achieves all this alone is remarkable."
- The National Business Review

"The performance was exceptional by being the first newcomer I have seen for many a year to achieve and overcome the theatrical myth that shock, brashness and obscenity is the way to win over an audience…an entertaining evening of 'True Theatre'".
- Derek Treeby, Backstage

"A terrific, entertaining and very satisfying performance…Clearly Millen Baird is an actor and writer to watch out for."
- The Waikato Times

"A wealth of entertainment..he reveals a lot of talent as both an actor and a playwright…Millen Baird is a name you should watch out for both on stage and on screen."
- Taranaki Daily News
