- 90The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenBrilliant, over-the-edge concert film Notorious C.H.O. carries candid sexual humor into previously uncharted territory.
- 88Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisHer face is as much a part of her comedic form as her observations are. It's an amazing slapstick instrument, creating a scrapbook of living mug shots.
- 80L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyWhen she unabashedly puts herself in the same category as Richard Pryor (the master of identity politics and cultural reportage), it's not just presumptuous posturing on her part. She's earned her place there.
- 80Washington PostWashington PostPolitically charged music to the ears of Cho's fans.
- 80New Times (L.A.)David EhrensteinNew Times (L.A.)David EhrensteinFilmed by director Lorene Machado on direct video, it's a visually primitive affair. But you're not likely to care, given the chance to witness Cho's often incisive, but never hectoring, take on life as she's lived and observed it.
- 80Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanA raunchy and frequently hilarious follow-up to the gifted Korean American stand-up's "I'm the One That I Want."
- 75New York Daily NewsJami BernardNew York Daily NewsJami BernardCho is funnier — and raunchier — in this, her second concert film, than in 2000's "I'm the One That I Want," even if she doesn't break any new comedic ground.
- 70TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxBy the end, it should be perfectly clear just why Cho is so loved by so many different types of people. Raunchy though her material is, it embraces all comers, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or ethnicity. And it's never been sharper — or funnier — than it is here.
- 63Miami HeraldConnie OgleMiami HeraldConnie OgleShe could come off preachy here but instead sounds blunt and honest. And that's more than enough.
- 60Chicago ReaderChicago ReaderDespite the raunchy material, her humor is essentially ethnic, tweaking the stereotype of Asian women as shy and dainty.
