Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
You might not think of William Shatner as a talk show interviewer but, in his own way, he is surprisingly effective at getting his celebrity subjects to reveal aspects of their lives that are fresh and surprising.

Baltimore Sun David Zurawik
The interview was fascinating with Shatner bringing [Valerie Bertinelli] back from PR speak with wisecracks.

Newsday Verne Gay
What's surprising is how serious this show is, and how grounded is its host.

Entertainment Weekly Clark Collis
The result is mildly entertaining but serves as a remainder that, as Dr. McCoy might have put it, Shatner is an actor, not a psychiatrist.

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante
Shatner’s Raw Nerve puts its host’s peculiar brand of intensity on full display.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
While the smarm of "Entertainment Tonight" can be excruciating, and the reverence of James Lipton can be comic, Shatner's bullying seems out of proportion to the importance of his endeavor.

New York Daily News David Hinckley
It's your basic celebrity gossip show, in other words, with Shatner adding a layer of Dr. Phil Lite and removing the overt "Gotcha!" from his responses. It's not much more than that, frankly.

Variety Brian Lowry
Shatner's Raw Nerve, despite the catchy title, proves neither raw nor nervy enough to be consistently interesting.
