Tamborine Reviews
AV Club
Dennis Perkins
[Tamborine] sees Rock addressing his self-selected smaller audience with both less volume and more intimacy.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Tamborine never goes too dark, nor does Rock ever truly blur the line between stand-up set and therapy session...he never loses sight of the comedy - even as he distributes the hard-earned wisdom that comes from regret.
Newsday
Verne Gay
There's a new world order out there. Looks like Chris Rock -- yes, Rock -- got the memo, too.
The Daily Dot
Audra Schroeder
This is Rock in extreme close-up, in a more intimate venue than stadiums of the past.
New Yorker
Vinson Cunningham
For all of Rock's fealty to hard fact and the disenchantments of experience, "Tamborine" is most exciting, and most unlike anything he's done before, when he gropes toward transformation.
TIME Magazine
Ashley Hoffman
[Rock's] willingness to derail the laughs shows a newfound vulnerability-all before he brings the act safely back to a funny zone.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Rock has thus made his most personal special without ever getting that personal - a testament to his talents, not a criticism of them.
indieWire
Steve Greene
Tamborine is more of a look at what can be rather than what is. Looking to the future isn't what we're used to, but there are few better masters of the form to help offer a way forward.
Slate
Aisha Harris
The energy is different, but Rock is still very funny and occasionally still provocative, if only because the culture has shifted in recent years.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Tamborine is rife with political humor and pointed observations on race in Rock's usual style, but the special is mostly about Rock himself, a self-reflective piece in which he owns up to his mistakes.
New York Times
Jason Zinoman
He has honed this material, beefing up jokes and cutting out fat, and his comedy has become tighter, funnier if also slicker, shifting from a story of a comic struggling with demons to one describing how he once was lost and now he's found.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
Chris Rock's first new stand-up special in ten years is called Tamborine, but it could have been called This Is How You Do It.
Entertainment Voice
Alci Rengifo
Chris Rock returns to us with things to say and share, with humor that serves as a nice respite as we ourselves march on and endure.
Decider
Sean L. McCarthy
Rock now recognizes the importance of learning life lessons and accepting cold hard truths about himself... That's something some of his peers and those who look up to him in comedy would be wise to listen to and heed.
TV Worth Watching
David Bianculli
Rock, in every TV special he's ever released, manages to touch on a topic in a way, and with a fervor and intelligence, I end up remembering long afterward.
National Review
Kyle Smith
Repackaged, Rock's set could actually make for a Peterson-style self help guide - Rock's Rules for Life.
Uproxx
Andrew Husband
Tamborine is as intimate as it is ridiculous, and although the content of Rock's material drives this home when it needs to, the special is always ready to assist him when necessary.
Paste Magazine
Garrett Martin
There are a few missteps...but at a time when legendary stand-ups are using their multimillion dollar Netflix specials to reveal how out of touch they are with today, Rock remains as potent as ever.
The Daily Beast
Matt Wilstein
While he may have been brought low as a husband and father, Rock's powers as a comedian have not been diminished.
Esquire Magazine
Matt Miller
It's more of a therapeutic release than anything else, and if you're in the mood to just release it all with a grin, then Tamborine is crucial.
