The Hollywood ReporterDavid KnowlesNov 10, 2011
Season 1 Review: You come away from the show having broadened your understanding for a sector of, yes, American life that you may not have had much contact with before. By the standards of the genre, that's about as good as it gets. Read full review

Season 1 Review: All-American Muslim should not be dismissed for its laudable aspects, but it's difficult to escape a sense TLC took its game up a notch merely by virtue of the title. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleNov 10, 2011
Season 1 Review: All those profiled are on their best behavior, and the show is so focused on teaching that it goes for long stretches without entertaining. Read full review
