Critic Reviews

50 Variety Phil Gallo
Having four women with sufficiently distinct personalities and a pleasant tone should help the show secure some viewership, but it really belongs on a specialized femme-oriented cable net.
50 People Weekly Tom Gliatto
It's pleasant, but not promising enough to care about beyond a one-episode stand. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
33 Entertainment Weekly Jessica Shaw
Guy is almost that bad date that makes for a good story, but instead it's just a bad date that won't say good night. [16 Jun 2006, p.70]
30 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
It's thoroughly artificial and proud of it. The four women are a little too attractive, their comments and voiceovers feel a little too semi-scripted, and everyone is a little too willing to ignore the camera crew on the dates.
20 Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
It's an artificial conceit for a superficial show.
12 New York Post Linda Stasi
A ridiculous, cloying, condescending, wrong-headed reality show.
10 Salon Heather Havrilesky
Would more accurately be called "How to Get A Guy, Any Guy" or better yet, "How to Cast a Great, Big, Wide Net Like the Soulless, Whoring Sea Donkey That You Are."
0 New York Daily News David Hinckley
"How to Get the Guy" doesn't have to worry about a slow slide: It starts out about as low as you can go.
