In a review for the Hollywood Reporter, he wrote:

"Common is, unfortunately, the weak link in the cast. He’s always a particular kind of actor: instantly striking as a presence, generally convincing physically and a strange cipher emotionally — completely at odds with the passion that infuses his music and unscripted persona. His performance here is a great leather jacket — unexplained, since nobody else in the Silo seems to go to the same tailor — and a perpetual smirk. Opposite Robbins’ soft-spoken, pragmatically insinuating nuance and Ferguson’s fiery and perpetual irritation, Common’s lack of inflection leaves the show with a conflict deficit."
