Melissa Maerz · Entertainment Weekly 83.00/100.00

People watch The Voice for the coaches, not the contestants--and at a time when everyone's fighting on American Idol, with Nicki Minaj playing the angriest Oompa Loompa on TV, it's nice to see judges having fun.

Paige Wiser · Chicago Sun-Times 75.00/100.00

The Voice is not that bad.

Verne Gay · Newsday 75.00/100.00

While you're left to wonder why these four stars need a reality show, or why the contestants never truly made it in the first place, "The Voice" should remain a solid performer for NBC--which it so very badly needs.

Brian Lowry · Variety 40.00/100.00

By the time it was over, all I could think was: See no more of "The Voice." Hear no more of "The Voice." And after Tuesday, no reason to speak any longer about "The Voice."

Ken Tucker · Entertainment Weekly 42.00/100.00

From its amusement-park-ride chairs to its cluttered concept, The Voice was a garish bore over two hours on Tuesday night--it was less about the strenuous voices of the singers than the yammering voices of its celebrity "coaches."

Daniel Fienberg · Hitfix 70.00/100.00

The Voice delivered an entertaining two hours, far more tightly packed than any "Idol" audition episode for years, though that's an unfair comparison.

Troy Patterson · Slate 60.00/100.00

The Voice (NBC) is a horrifically entertaining vocal competition produced by Mark Burnett.

Mark A. Perigard · Boston Herald 40.00/100.00

As The Voice made loud and clear, there's not enough talent to go around.
