NewsdayDiane WertsJun 25, 2014
Season 1 Review: Disney should be sent to detention for passing off such aural plasticity [laugh track], unfairly fouling the repute of the live-audience sitcom. But the rest of Girl Meets World does its job of bringing tween-based family viewing into the 2010s. Read full review

The A.V. ClubErik AdamsJun 25, 2014
Season 1 Review: Replicating the beats of that previous show isn’t as important to Girl Meets World’s potential for success as reviving the spirit of its inspiration. It’s there in measured doses in the pilot, bolstering the broader jokes, staged performances from child actors, and requisite feints toward classroom puppy love. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Though it is not exactly in the spirit of the original, it should satisfy any "Boy" fans eager to see it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A cute half-hour that capably introduces new characters and sets the table for the new series. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyMarc SnetikerJun 23, 2014
Season 1 Review: Girl Meets World does improve significantly after the pilot, but it has yet to recapture the warm spirit that made Boy Meets World shine. [27 Jun 2014, p.58] Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleJun 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: It has more of the feel of a traditional family sitcom than the louder, jokier competition on Nickelodeon, but the humor is still pretty broad and the plotting blunt for anyone outside that age group. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJun 27, 2014
Season 1 Review: The name recognition notwithstanding, there’s precious little to distinguish Girl Meets World from a parade of similarly themed Disney Channel live-action series, built around life on the cusp of puberty, featuring stars slightly older than the girl demo apt to watch.

Season 1 Review: Girl Meets World is hammier than a Smithfield Foods factory. Read full review
