VarietyPhil Gallo
Season 1 Review: Having four women with sufficiently distinct personalities and a pleasant tone should help the show secure some viewership, but it really belongs on a specialized femme-oriented cable net. Read full review

People WeeklyTom Gliatto
Season 1 Review: It's pleasant, but not promising enough to care about beyond a one-episode stand. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]

Entertainment WeeklyJessica Shaw
Season 1 Review: Guy is almost that bad date that makes for a good story, but instead it's just a bad date that won't say good night. [16 Jun 2006, p.70]

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: It's thoroughly artificial and proud of it. The four women are a little too attractive, their comments and voiceovers feel a little too semi-scripted, and everyone is a little too willing to ignore the camera crew on the dates. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Would more accurately be called "How to Get A Guy, Any Guy" or better yet, "How to Cast a Great, Big, Wide Net Like the Soulless, Whoring Sea Donkey That You Are." Read full review

Season 1 Review: "How to Get the Guy" doesn't have to worry about a slow slide: It starts out about as low as you can go. Read full review
