Metacritic assigned a score of 28 out of 100 based on aggregate of 17 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". The Futon Critic's Brian Ford Sullivan praised Vieluf as the standout despite his limited role, but felt the execution of the matchmaking premise was inferior to that done in the 2005 film "Hitch". The series was described as having "a quirky vibe, personable cast and snappy writing" by "Variety"'s Laura Fries, but she felt the storylines and characters required more original material. Although they commended the show for its multi-ethnic cast, Jon Bonné and Gael Fashingbauer Cooper of "Today" wrote that it "struggles to salvage some screechingly bad jokes". Paul Brownfield of the "Los Angeles Times" criticized the series for being "unintentionally unfunny", comparing it to the fictional sitcom "Room and Bored" featured in the HBO comedy-drama "The Comeback". The "Chicago Tribune"'s Maureen Ryan called the series a "grating comedy ... destined to be a footnote in history as the show that premiered after "Everybody Hates Chris", and most likely faded shortly thereafter".
