91	Entertainment Weekly Mandi Bierly Mr. Roarke started off deliciously dark. [18 Nov 2005, p.112]
70	Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen An enjoyable walk down memory lane.... But there's not nearly enough extra material to satisfy fans.
60	IGN Michael Drucker It hasn't aged extremely well; new viewers will only find about half of the episodes bearable.
60	DVD Town James Plath Nothing great happened from episode to episode and it was hokey as those fake anthuriums placed randomly on every bush and tree, but it was enough to give pleasure to fans of the show.
50	digitallyOBSESSED Jeff Wilson Ricardo Montalban remains as watchable as ever, but the rest is a big cheesy mess for the most part.
