St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonOct 1, 2014
Season 1 Review: The lead characters for whom we're supposed to root in Manhattan Love Story feel as slapped together as people stranded at a speed-dating event. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For most of the first two episodes, Tipton ... seems like a prisoner of the crummy show around her, while "Greek" alum McDorman has a character no actor could make likable. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Margaret LyonsSep 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: In addition to being nowhere near as adorable as it thinks it is, Manhattan Love Story is also structurally off. The show relies very heavily on Peter and Dana's voice-overs, which is a real mistake. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Manhattan Love Story is simply an unfunny study in tired male/female stereotypes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Its two love-crossed leads are a pair of characters that the audience, at least after two episodes, will have no interest in seeing get together.... The script here is a constant barrage of inner monologue turned narration, most of it centered on how love and life is different in the Big Apple, without ever making that key element of the show feel genuine.

Season 1 Review: Five minutes of their witless, charmless, inane babbling, and what you'll be thinking is likely to be unprintable in a family publication. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanSep 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: It’s sexist and stupid and shows no signs of potential, other than becoming more sexist, stupid and annoying as the weeks roll by. Read full review

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanSep 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: This annoying show is not quite as drenched in dumb and/or sexist assumptions as "Mixology," but that is the lowest possible bar to clear. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushSep 30, 2014
Season 1 Review: This device [hear everything Dana and her potential beau Peter are thinking] grows old within the first minute. By the end of a half-hour, it's unbearable. It would help if Peter weren't such a boor, or Dana such a simp. Read full review
