Season 1 Review: Not everything works, but this is a bright, imaginative show that perhaps God will smile upon. Jerry Garcia, too. [5 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: This series is not only funny but actually seems to have something on its mind when it comes to religion and man's spirituality. [6 March 2000, p.1E]

USA TodayRobert BiancoNov 27, 2019
Season 1 Review: Stewart and Cumming (who endows the Devil with an amusingly high-toned English accent) turn in vocal performances that are all the funnier for being more restrained than some of their recent work. As for Garner, well, he's somewhat of an American treasure. You might even say he's divine. [9 March 2000]

Los Angeles Daily NewsDavid KronkeNov 27, 2019
Season 1 Review: Its cleverness may be a little too nuanced and low-key for mainstream audiences - the show probably belongs on a cable network, where it would be a programming highlight - instead of a broadcaster like NBC. But it's good fun to see our deity and demon bicker over minutiae while Bob looks on without comprehension. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: Considering what's at stake, the show could use more edge. It settles instead for sweetness. [9 March 2000, p.E1]
