The script is another one of those high-concept specials that sound like they were midwifed by an agent.

Rotten
Essentially a feature-length sitcom, She's Out of Control specializes not in psychology but in snappy patter.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Despite some funny scenes, the sitcomish treatment of a father's anxiety over his teenage daughter's budding sexuality is mostly shallow and uneven.
Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten
Dragoti's dire, dishonest, seldom humorous social comedy has all the nauseating hallmarks of a big-budget sitcom.
Wally Hammond, Time Out
Rotten
It is an extended version of familiar, bland sitcom situations.
Caryn James, New York Times
