Season 1 Review: Hank Azaria is luminous, and with a knockout ensemble cast, Huff is sure to be a hit. [5 Nov 2004, p.16]

Chicago TribuneSid SmithJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: The real accomplishment here is creator Bob Lowry's complex, thought-provoking insights into upper-middle-class highs and lows today. [5 Nov 2004, p.3]

Houston ChronicleMike McDanielJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: Huff's changing tone - serious one minute, funny the next - keeps you on your toes. This is a series you can chew on. [5 Nov 2004, p.1]

Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarlandJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: What it does is invite you to enjoy the dysfunction, maybe relate a little. Worthy punctuation for the end of Sunday evening. [5 Nov 2004, p.C1]

Boston HeraldSarah RodmanJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: This hourlong drama is peopled with actors who have long deserved a rich showcase for their talents, and each rises spectacularly to the occasion. [4 Nov 2004, p.77]

San Diego Union-TribuneRobert P. LaurenceJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: Huff occasionally descends into mere bitchiness but more often offers keen insights into the psyche of its main character. And it's frequently funny and thought-provoking. [5 Nov 2004, p.E-11]

Chicago Sun-TimesPhil RosenthalJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: Oddly compelling even though it's not nearly as edgy and smart as it thinks it is. [5 Nov 2004, p.51]

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenJan 28, 2014
Season 1 Review: Huff is not a bad show, it just doesn't feel sufficiently new. Both structurally and thematically, it shares some similarities to the more outrageous and, frankly, more fun "Nip/Tuck" on FX. [7 Nov 2004, p.TV-5]

Season 2 Review: It feels less like Freud's fun house than an opportunity for one performer after another to launch into frenzied, vituperative speeches. [24 Apr 2006, p.39]
