I think the episode has a good balance between suspense, drama and humor. The actors deliver convincing performances, especially William Peterson as Gil Grissom stands out again with his charismatic manner and his appearance as a competent and experienced investigator.
The episode also shows again how intuitively and precisely the CSI team works together to solve the cases and how they deal with their personal problems at the same time.
Some criticisms I have of the episode are that it's a little too predictable in places, and that some of the supporting characters don't have enough depth.
For example, I found the spa owner a little too stereotypical and unlikeable. The same goes for Julian Harper, he is only interested in fame and money and has no talent or passion for music. He uses his fame and wealth to take advantage of other people. He has no respect or compassion for the feelings of his partners.
I would also have liked to know more about the actual background of the young suspect who is being defended by Grissom.
Overall, I think the episode is one of the better ones of the sixth season and will satisfy fans of CSI: Tracking Down the Culprits.
