It's a pleasure to see such a fine actress navigate the nuances of her role ... Only on the big screen are we able to fully appreciate the minutely detailed nature of Ryan's performance, revealing Tracy's soul via the slightest narrowing of the eyes or the almost-subliminal tensing of her cheekbones. As we know, Junebug earned Amy Adams an Oscar nomination, and if the world were fair, this role would bring another Amy similar attention.{{Cite news |url=https://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/abundant-acreage-available-review-amy-ryan-1202392795/ |title=Tribeca Film Review: Abundant Acreage Available |last=Debruge |first=Peter |date=2017-04-21 |work=Variety |access-date=2017-08-15}}

The revelation is not that Amy Ryan is good. It's that she's this good ... Ryan, whose range has been apparent for years, in dramatic performances nominated for Tonys (Uncle Vanya) and Oscars (Gone Baby Gone), as well as in nuanced comic turns on television shows like The Office, manages a feat in Love, Love, Love that she's never accomplished so fluidly before: taking charge. She delivers a front-and-center performance of such beguiling dynamism (in a thoroughly convincing English accent) that you feel this Roundabout Theatre Company production has done for her precisely what was intended. It exposes a new facet of her talent — and leaves us with that uplifting itch, to be there the next time she's on a stage.{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/11/07/when-casting-about-for-famous-actresses-for-the-stage-choose-carefully/ |title=When Casting About for Famous Actresses for the Stage, Choose Carefully |last=Marks |first=Peter |date=2016-11-07 |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=2017-08-15}}
