Newsday Verne Gay
Entourage--at least in original episodes--has been off the air for one solid year, but when that title song from Jane's Addiction kicks in, it's like an old friend calling--only this time, the friend seems worthier, and his stories more interesting.

Any anxiety (real or imaginary) makes for some compelling television.

New York Post Adam Buckman
Tracking the many ways in which reality converges with fiction is one of the principal pleasures of Entourage, which otherwise explores some pretty well-worn territory in its new season.

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
It's still not more than disposable fluff, and I expect Vince to get his stardom back by season's end, but by making his career a metaphor for what the show had become, Entourage for the first time is more entertaining than Vince's life must be.

It's less aimless and has renewed momentum--even if its plots tread familiar ground.

Variety Brian Lowry
The show's polished exterior, however, has seldom scratched the surface hard enough to find anything deeper underneath. Vince's career odyssey back from "Medellin" could provide just that--the season-long hook to make a show already on Hollywood's A-list match that with an actual A-game.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
As a whole, the dramedy is much more enjoyable than it was last season, which was a bloated and repetitive mess.

Entertainment Weekly Tim Stack
Everything in the season 5 premiere feels stale. [5 Sep 2008, p.70]

New York Daily News David Hinckley
Things are a little perkier for the characters at the start of this season than when we last left them.
