Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: Unlike last month's ABC Family misfire "Make It or Break It," 10 Things contains clever dialogue that's rooted in its characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A new audience will enjoy this smart series, which makes light of the eternal hell of high school. Read full review

Season 1 Review: So while the checklist of assets might not add up to 10, there are several things to like about this series, which bodes well for its desire--shared by TV and teenagers--to become popular. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKen Tucker
Season 1 Review: While Bianca is the status-conscious, superficial center of the show, Martin makes her kinda sweet, and Shaw is downright excellent as the status-hating, politically aware Kat. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The movie has such cult status that it seems almost sacrilege to tamper with it for television, but as a series 10 Things is not terrible; it is even at times fun. It’s just not very inventive. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt Roush
Season 1 Review: Not much interesting going on here, although it can be intriguing to watch an old-fashioned-style sitcom shoehorned into the Gossip Girl age, as ABC Family continues to try to be relevant yet family-friendly. Read full review
