Newsday

Season 1 Review: The characters are vibrantly well-defined... And the writing is smart, with a light touch. Read full review

Variety

Season 1 Review: An affable new sitcom. Read full review

Orlando Sentinel

Season 1 Review: Centers on a dating consultant (Busy Philipps) who has no romantic success of her own. Could it be because the show presents her as an overbearing know-it-all? Read full review

New York Daily News

Season 1 Review: Perhaps, with all the reality TV dating shows pervading the tube, there's not much appetite left for a sitcom about a fictional dating firm. More probably, there's just not much appetite for a sitcom that isn't funny. Read full review

USA Today

Season 1 Review: Overagitated and overaggressive, Philipps is in constant motion; her face contorting, body twitching, voice braying. Against all odds, she has taken a show that was merely bad and made it truly unbearable. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter

Season 1 Review: While this show isn't terrible, demonstrating spirit and energy if not belly laughs, it will need to get funnier very quickly or risk dying a quick, inglorious death. Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times

Season 1 Review: Negligible. Read full review

Detroit Free Press

Season 1 Review: [A] trite little laugh-track factory. Read full review

Miami Herald

Season 1 Review: Humdrum. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Season 1 Review: The laugh track is far too enthusiastic for the lame attempts at comedy on display here. Read full review

PopMatters

Todd R. Ramlow

Season 1 Review: If it's trying to emulate Sex and the City, Love, Inc. misses the fact that that show presented us with complex characters from the get-go; here the single women are all pretty much one-shtick ponies. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: We wonder whether the problem isn't in the casting but the paper-thin punch lines. No, wait, we don't wonder... we know that's the problem. Read full review

The New York Times

Virginia Heffernan

Season 1 Review: The writing on "Love, Inc." is unsparkly and sometimes labored. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle

Season 1 Review: Woefully bad. Read full review

Boston Globe

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: Each character on ''Love, Inc." is a one-joke affair. Read full review

Chicago Tribune

Season 1 Review: A grating comedy. Read full review

Los Angeles Times

Paul Brownfield

Season 1 Review: "Love, Inc." is as unintentionally unfunny as "Room and Bored" -- the sitcom within a sitcom on HBO's "The Comeback" -- was meant to be bad. Read full review
