Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: It's an amiable show whose main purpose is to give Prinze a place to be amiable in, and it does that well enough, when it isn't straining for laughs or wandering too far from the path of probability. Read full review

Season 1 Review: [A] bland sitcom. [14 Oct 2005, p.142]

Miami HeraldGlenn Garvin
Season 1 Review: Freddie is a series of collisions -- between generations, sexes, ethnicities and perhaps most of all between youthful Latin macho and imperious Latin matriarchy in the struggle to rule the house. Read full review

NewsdayVerne Gay
Season 1 Review: Cynical, randy, derivative and as wearily familiar as a cup of cheap joe, "Freddie" is also expertly cast, acted, written and directed. Read full review

New York PostAdam Buckman
Season 1 Review: This guy has a great personality. Building a likable sitcom around him ought to be a no-brainer. So why haven't they done it? Read full review

USA TodayRobert Bianco
Season 1 Review: The big problem is Prinze himself, an actor whose work has shown much charm but not much range. Here, even the charm is missing as he dwells on every joke and gesture. Read full review

Cleveland Plain DealerMark Dawidziak
Season 1 Review: The best aspect of "Freddie" is that it makes an earnest attempt to depict a loving, supportive Latino family. You want to spend time with them, but only if the writers put as much sizzle into the scripts as Freddie does in his beloved recipes. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
Season 1 Review: A fairly pedestrian comedy that needs all the studio-generated laughter it can muster. Read full review
