Newsday

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: Cannavale's Cupid is at least funny and charming. He's good here and so is Paulson. The weak link--the "B" story, like tonight's tepid one with the Postie, which was as appetizing as week-old cod. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)

Emily Nussbaum

Season 1 Review: The two investigate love stories, not homicides, a clever conceit that injects the procedural form with the dizzy spirit of a Drew Barrymore film festival. Read full review

Chicago Tribune

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: The problem is, though this good-natured show doesn't lack for energy, Cupid is a little bland and formulaic. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter

Randee Dawn

Season 1 Review: The balance is off, but there is still a sweetness to the show that makes it worth checking out. Read full review

New York Daily News

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: Wile Bobby Cannavale plays a credible Cupid and Sarah Paulson is likable as his mortal sparring partner Dr. Claire McCrae, there just isn't a whole lot here. Read full review

Salon

Heather Havrilesky

Season 1 Review: Piven seems perfect for the role of Cupid: Sweet, manic and slightly slippery. Cannavale and Paulson, on the other hand, don't come close to having Piven's comic timing, and that's a serious impediment. Read full review

The New York Times

Ginia Bellafante

Season 1 Review: Sticking with Cupid requires a certain attachment to the idea of a Claire-Trevor love connection, one apparent only in moody glances and pronounced opposition rather than in even the faintest semblance of chemistry. In any other series Claire and Trevor would go out for a hot dog once and realize that they were actually much better off with their respective exes. Read full review
