Entertainment Weekly Josh Wolk

The reliably hilarious supporting cast of family members and friends--quirky without being cartoonish--makes a creaky zit subplot forgivable.

LA Weekly Robert Abele

[A] richly observed, mirthful series.

Los Angeles Times Mary McNamara

Gavin & Stacey is a gem of a show -- funny, touching and welcome proof that the romantic comedy can and will survive irony, Botox, Judd Apatow and all the vagaries of the modern age.

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall

Horne and Page have sweet chemistry, but what makes the show work is the cast of eccentrics that Corden and Jones have created around them.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

It's amusing and knowing and will make some viewers smile, but it probably won't provoke gales of laughter. And that's fine. It's still more clever than most single-camera comedies ABC has put on the air in recent years.

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante

The most endearing comedy about love to come to television since the Manolos were packed up and put away.

Variety Brian Lowry

Fortunately, the series never veers terribly far from the central duo, each of whom--to borrow a bit of vernacular--is played in cracking fashion by Horne (from "The Catherine Tate Show") and Page ("Love Actually").
