Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

Where "Party" goes awry is by trying to be an hour. That's twice as long as it should be. There's more fat in it than a Popeye's biscuit.

New York Post Adam Buckman

It is overlong, contrived and utterly out of place on UPN. It plays like something left over that the network needs to discard before going out of business.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

Uninspired and flat.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

Something feels wrong about a TV "reality show" team swooping into the hotel where a displaced Hurricane Katrina family has been living since September and carting two girls out to Las Vegas for a fancy birthday party.

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield

The lavishing [of gifts] never abates, until what you're witnessing feels less like a party than an icky display of instant wealth meant to leave the rest of us drooling, wondering what about our own lives might get us on a TV show.

Hollywood Reporter Erik Pedersen

[It] leads the league in overreactions and on-cue hugs, making it seem just too phony to have any real impact.

San Jose Mercury News Charlie McCollum

I guess this is supposed to be another "feel-good" reality show, but it comes off more like an exercise in wretched excess.

Washington Post Chip Crews

In television terms, a program like this can be produced for pocket change, which explains, at least partly, its presence on the UPN schedule.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

A do-good reality show that makes a big deal about how morally superior it is.

PopMatters Leigh H. Edwards

UPN's new series has a shot -- in the sweepstakes for the worst reality show of all time.

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin

You can practically feel the IQ points leaking out your ears as you watch.

I enyjoed this a lot its probally too white for UPN but I liked it better than that overly sappy EM: Home Edition crap at least this isn't hosted by a crazy dude with ADD

Jimmy C gave it a0:

D.J. gave it a0:
I can't believe that Callavari dropped out of college for this stinker! Oh wait, I cant believe she got into college. That's what I meant to say.
