The series shows the darker side of Belle's work without getting into that porno-punishing crap so often disguised as morality lessons. The series, like Belle, is far too smart to succumb to such an average attitude.
By Gillian Flynn FULL REVIEW

The real pleasures of this half-hour show come from its sly sense of humor and from Belle’s practical yet adventurous approach to her job.
By Maureen Ryan FULL REVIEW
70
As the season's eight episodes progress, and she's forced to open her life to a bit of outside scrutiny, cracks begin to appear in the facade. And while that's not enough to turn her into a victim--we're not talking Lifetime here--it does gradually transform her into the character Showtime most needs her to be: someone whose company might actually be worth paying for.
By Ellen Gray FULL REVIEW

Future episodes elevate the Belle and Ben relationship to a more complicated place, which bears some promise and may give Secret Diary the distinction it lacks in early episodes.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW

Secret Diary has amusing touches, but not enough to sustain an entire series.
By Alessandra Stanley FULL REVIEW
30
Secret Diary of a Call Girl is the kind of hotly lit, coldly stylized dreck that purports to be classy, high-minded softcore but is actually as witless and dreary as, well, paid-for jollies.
By Robert Abele FULL REVIEW
10
Secret Diary is a nonstop glamorization of prostitution.
