Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
While there's nothing particularly wrong with Do Not Disturb, neither is there anything so inspired as to make you leap to your feet, crying, "Yes! This is what television needs! More workplace comedies! More hotels!"
Read Full Review >New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
It should be funny, which the new Fox workplace comedy Do Not Disturb is not.
Read Full Review >USA TodayRobert Bianco
The result is a show that tries to be adult and titillating but just comes across as juvenile and badly paced, as if the cast were waiting for laughs they must realize won't be arriving.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
Instead of opting for the trite title, Higginbotham should have looked harder for something more novel. He could have found one suitable title right there in his own dialogue: We're thinking, of course, of "Don't Let This Happen to You."
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Nash is a force of nature, O'Connell a genial actor in search of something more interesting to do than leering. Together, they might want to think of checking out of Do Not Disturb.
Read Full Review >Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
Do Not Disturb is apparently trying for an upstairs/downstairs feel, but it comes across more as above-the-waist/below-the-waist.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesMisha Davenport
Its characters annoy more than entertain, its boutique hotel setting is uninspired and its comedy just isn't funny. An early checkout from the fall season is all but guaranteed.
Read Full Review >New York PostLinda Stasi
This series is a disturbingly unfunny bit of fluff that nonetheless manages to hit you over the head with its heavy, leaden jokes.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
Broad isn't automatically bad, of course, but broad and woefully unfunny are a pretty deadly combination.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Do Not Disturb is a sitcom that bombards you with a whole mess of loud, stupid, obvious, politically incorrect material, hoping it will make you forget about the pervasive pointlessness.
Read Full Review >NewsdayVerne Gay
Why, then, this debacle, with bad jokes, listless lines and a parade of cliches? Beats me.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
A program so bad that it's not only unpleasant to watch, but it makes you fear for the future of network television.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
This is a show that could bury the [sitcom] genre altogether.
Read Full Review >Baltimore SunDavid Zurawik
It is both bad and offensive in its depiction of some of the workers at a small hotel.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
A disapointing and largely laughless comedy set in an upscale New York City hotel.... Do Not Disturb? Try, Do Not Watch.
Read Full Review >San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
A series so bad that it's daring you to watch. Don't.

Karen L. gave it a1:
I watched the show last week because I thought that a friend of my son was in the cast. I later found out from my son that he was dropped from the cast. How lucky for Brando Eaton that he wasn't a part of this flop. It has to be one of the worst sitcoms I have ever experienced. The great man in the sky must have been watching out for Brando!
Connie R. gave it a10:
Great show! The actors & the casting are great and I know it'll be a hit!
Travis S. gave it a9:
Niecy was hilarious and really makes the show. I can see it really growing into it's own.
Raysa J. gave it a0:
A very pale rip off of the British soap/comedy "Hotel Babylon". So weak and stilted. Jason Bateman directed the pilot. Hard to believe this very talented comic actor and FOX could launch such a dud.
