Reviews
Ben Brantley of The New York Times said the play was "passionate but frustratingly unresolved play about a family struggling to outrun social prophecy." Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said "While there are some powerful moments, Pipeline overall fails to come to life." Marilyn Stasio of the Variety stated the play was "emotionally harrowing, ethically ambiguous drama that raises barbed questions about class, race, parental duty, and the state of American education."
