The acting is of a consistently high standard, although Sam's patronizing "nice shot, little brother" patter during combat grows tiresome.

Tuck it into the dollhouse attic, and if it grows tiresome, refurnish the entire room with rattan chairs, a shag rug and a soft pink palette.

In the absence of concrete data, the repetitive insistence that the growing philanthropic interests of the richest Americans "will dramatically expand the size and influence of a new power elite" grows tiresome.

And the songs all sound like they were written around then, which is cute at first but quickly grows tiresome as each bleeds into the next, completely indistinguishable from what came before it.

A visit to Dunn's River Falls or the Royal Palm Reserve puts visitors in touch with the town's pristine nature and eco-tourism, and if relaxing ever grows tiresome — if that's possible — surfside clubs are a short walk away.

Infiltrator was Mindscape's second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987. Steve Panak writing for ANALOG Computing approved of the documentation but preferred Ace of Aces as an Atari 8-bit flight simulator. A 1994 survey of strategic space games set in the year 2000 and later gave the game one star out of five, stating that "Tongue-in-cheek documentation quickly grows tiresome, as does the program itself".

David Hinkley of The New York Daily News rated the pilot three out of five stars, stating "The story and the chemistry work, but periodically the action feels rushed, as if we all know the drill and we might as well get it over with. Future episodes may correct that, because they'll need less setup work." Brian Lowry of Variety stated "On paper, "Hawaii Five-0" appears destined for can't-miss success, offering a pre-sold name, an attractive cast and a stunning location," but felt the millions spent on the pilot "doesn't necessarily indicate smooth sailing, relying as it does on playful banter (more like frat- boy hazing) between the leads that grows tiresome even before the hour's over." Ellen Gray of the Philadelphia Daily News felt it was "a huge let down," and was critical of the cast's performance, in particular O'Loughlin and Caan.

" Resident Advisor noted that the production was "a notch above" Blake's previous work, making special mention of the tracks "Points" and "Modern Soul," but notes that the album grows "tiresome" through its midsection, and likens it to a "funeral procession." Some critics criticized the album's length, pointing to some tracks that could be cut for time. PopMatters compared Blake to rapper Drake, stating that "like Drake, he had it in him to release a great album here. He just chose not to," while describing much of the album as "colorless and tedious, with Blake’s typical lugubriousness added in." British mastering engineer Ian Shepherd praised the album's sound, declaring that "It has depth, it has weight, it has space [...] That’s the dynamics, doing what they’re meant to do, in music – giving you goosebumps. Of course it’s a superb vocal performance too, that goes without saying – but trust me, it wouldn’t have anything like the impact if it was crushed and distorted the way so many recent releases are.
