Finally The Tooth Of Crime is given a production that has its actions and emotions in the right place. All the elements are laid out clearly and with emphatic force and no froufrou by someone who knows every inch of the dramatic action. Ferencz brings out, more strongly that I've seen it in any other production, the warmth of Shepard’s despair.

- Michael Feingold, Voice, March 1, 1983

The Tooth Of Crime is raunchy, obscene, loud, astonishing, different and exciting. It's about gang war, class war, the pop culture war, where stars are killers. The game is rough, the stakes are high, that language is flash… inventively staged by George Ferencz, in a stylized fashion, it's something between Greek tragedy and a rock show. The Tooth Of Crime is razor.

- Pia Lindstrom, WNBC-TV February 23, 1983
