The Independent reviews The Decoy Bride very briefly but the review can be summed up in its final sentence "It's as short of laughs as it is of logic."

Lots of David Tennant's fans have expressed dismay at The Decoy Bride not receiving more promotion but, compared to the other four releases, it has done quite well with Sally Philips appearing on several television programmes over the past few weeks.

The Guardian today reviews Love Virtually and includes the phrase "I listened reluctantly: my entire life is lived through emails, texts and Twitter. But the play proved compelling." However the review also includes a spoiler if you have not listened to Love Virtually yet.
