Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydMay 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Rays of charm do break through the haze of the ordinary and obvious, even if just for a line or a line reading. Read full review

HitfixAlan SepinwallMay 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: None of Men at Work is funny, but the greater sin is how uninspired it feels. Read full review

Season 1 Review: You might not want to have a TV relationship with these guys either. They're just not much fun on any level. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyMay 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: The turf [conversations revolving around sex] is so familiar in sitcoms these days that even funny lines feel recycled. Like Men at Work. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryMay 22, 2012
Season 1 Review: Mostly, though, there's just nothing terribly distinctive about Men at Work, so much so it's almost impossible to imagine how the pitch went without these actors to instill its tired one-liners with some modest zing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Men at Work is junk of the most disposable nature, a sex-obsessed comedy set at a phony-even-by-sitcom-standards magazine. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenMay 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Men at Work is mostly an unfunny, uninteresting look at four work buddies. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverMay 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Collectively, the four men are derived from a hundred other canceled sitcoms about men being men while trying to navigate the single life. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If this show was premiering even a decade ago, it might not feel as stale and out of place as it does in today's sitcom world. Read full review
