SalonSonia SaraiyaMar 31, 2016
Season 1 Review: Generally an appealing little comedy, able to juggle things like identity and success and privilege and a general terror of aging with some nimble skill in a way that felt actually fresh. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydMar 30, 2016
Season 1 Review: The series feels familiar but also fresh; predictable but not without character. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMolly EichelMar 30, 2016
Season 1 Review: There is potential for Lopez, but George has to stop relying on old tricks. Read full review

NewsdayDiane WertsMar 28, 2016
Season 1 Review: Should Lopez go big and broad with cultural comedy, trafficking so hard in stereotypes they seem all the more absurd? Or stay subtle and let its less-enlightened characters hang themselves? “Lopez” can’t decide, overloading its pilot with maid/valet/parole jokes (those crazy Mexicans!) vs. “white-man problems.” Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonMar 31, 2016
Season 1 Review: Many jokes are barely smile-worthy, and the show still feels broad and sitcom-y, despite its single-camera format. Sometimes, Lopez seems to be recycling lines from his stand-up act. But it's another step forward for TV Land. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanMar 29, 2016
Season 1 Review: The first three episodes are good if a little erratic, but that's true of most sitcoms. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyRay RahmanMar 28, 2016
Season 1 Review: Some [single-camera semiautobiographical comedies] were bad (The Paul Reiser Show), others were not so bad (The Jim Gaffigan Showe). I wish I could say George Lopez's effort is on the higher end of things. [1/8 Apr 2016, p.99]

The New York TimesMargaret LyonsMar 29, 2016
Season 1 Review: Lopez works best when it settles into being a mostly warm show with a bit of a bite, not a mostly biting show with a bit of warmth. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMar 29, 2016
Season 1 Review: It's not that Lopez is terrible, just terribly unoriginal as it depicts its lead character as slightly out-of-touch, overly concerned with his image, etc. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryMar 28, 2016
Season 1 Review: Despite a few references to well-publicized aspects of his biography--like divorcing his wife after she donated a kidney to him--the show is largely flavorless, with the funniest gag being a StarLine Tour bus that keeps swinging by his house and insulting him. Read full review
