Dallas Morning NewsEd BarkNov 21, 2019
Season 1 Review: Bland at first but better next week, this new spring collection of plainclothes cops has an outside chance to fit in and maybe even wear well. [23 March 2000]

Los Angeles Daily NewsNov 21, 2019
Season 1 Review: Not one of the performers looks like anything beyond a pretty young performer biding his or her time until a better break comes along. [23 March 2000]

Cleveland Plain DealerMark DawidziakNov 21, 2019
Season 1 Review: Although terribly familiar in design and execution, Battery Park does manage stretches when it amiably spins along in a Big Appleish "Spin City" sort of way. Goldberg's touch hasn't completely deserted him. [23 March 2000, p.6E]

Season 1 Review: The mostly forgettable "Battery Park"? It's strictly DOA -- Dull On Arrival. [23 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: If you find that humorous -- and the annoyingly cranked-up laugh track sure did -- then you're set. If not, well, the lines don't get much better. [23 March 2000]

NewsdayMarvin KitmanNov 21, 2019
Season 1 Review: It's an attempt to do a 1970s comedy like "Barney Miller" - but without the laughs. [22 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, Battery Park is a precinct I don't care enough about to come back for more. [23 March 2000]

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzNov 22, 2019
Season 1 Review: The comedy is stale; it's as if the writers were trying to make the funniest show of 1982. [23 March 2000, p.1E]

San Diego Union-TribuneRobert P. LaurenceNov 21, 2019
Season 1 Review: The usually reliable producer Gary David Goldberg ("Spin City," "Brooklyn Bridge," "Family Ties") has imitated the props, plot devices and characters from the original ("Barney Miller"), but duplicating wit, mood and casting chemistry have proven more elusive.[23 March 2000, p.E-5]
