Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
Season 1 Review: Where "Party" goes awry is by trying to be an hour. That's twice as long as it should be. There's more fat in it than a Popeye's biscuit. Read full review

New York PostAdam Buckman
Season 1 Review: It is overlong, contrived and utterly out of place on UPN. It plays like something left over that the network needs to discard before going out of business. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: Something feels wrong about a TV "reality show" team swooping into the hotel where a displaced Hurricane Katrina family has been living since September and carting two girls out to Las Vegas for a fancy birthday party. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield
Season 1 Review: The lavishing [of gifts] never abates, until what you're witnessing feels less like a party than an icky display of instant wealth meant to leave the rest of us drooling, wondering what about our own lives might get us on a TV show. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterErik Pedersen
Season 1 Review: [It] leads the league in overreactions and on-cue hugs, making it seem just too phony to have any real impact. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesCharlie McCollum
Season 1 Review: I guess this is supposed to be another "feel-good" reality show, but it comes off more like an exercise in wretched excess. Read full review

Washington PostChip Crews
Season 1 Review: In television terms, a program like this can be produced for pocket change, which explains, at least partly, its presence on the UPN schedule. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: A do-good reality show that makes a big deal about how morally superior it is. Read full review

Season 1 Review: UPN's new series has a shot -- in the sweepstakes for the worst reality show of all time. Read full review
