'' praised "The Promise" episode from Series 2: "Everyone involved seems to have appreciated the little gem they had here. Jodhi May, acting half the time with only half her face, was almost too powerful for peace of mind. David Blair directed like a particularly gifted spider, filling the screen with holes, cracks, doorways, windows...This, the last and best play in ''The Street'' series, must have been as painful and exhilarating to write as it was to watch. I wouldn't say it was plausible. I'd say poetic."
