Entertainment WeeklyJessica Shaw
Season 1 Review: Too bad host Emme, herself; a plus-size (and very good) model, is rather stiff in the premiere. All in all, more fun than you'd think. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRandee Dawn
Season 1 Review: That Conley is a 300-plus-pound guy comfortable in his own skin helps, as does his genuine affection for the larger ladies. And all of that makes this otherwise-routine Fleiss confection a notch or two more interesting. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: Hosted by plus-size supermodel Emme, More to Love adds an extra layer of pathos to the genre's usual Harlequin hearts and flowers, its candlelit rooms, poolside chats and painfully drawn out ritual eliminations. Read full review

VarietyBrian Lowry
Season 1 Review: These women aren’t looking for steady gigs on MTV, and they cry at the drop of a hat. That somehow makes them more real, however contrived the situation might be. The weak link, actually, is Conley, who sounds far too determined to make a positive impression and say all the right things. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesPaige Wiser
Season 1 Review: Somehow, the routine isn't as fun on More to Love [than "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette"]. Read full review

SlateTroy Patterson
Season 1 Review: Once you get past the fact of the producers' milking more than the usual volume of pathos from scenes of pre-elimination anxiety and post-dismissal distress, More To Love is much the same as its slimmer sisters. Read full review

Washington PostTom Shales
Season 1 Review: Perhaps partly because the producers are determined not to let More to Love turn into a jeer fest, the show almost chokes on its own sensitivity and refinement. Read full review

SalonHeather Havrilesky
Season 1 Review: Not a bad start, until the show's editors get their sticky fingers into this pie, and then all we get is one clip after another of a big-boned lady weeping over her inability to find love, thanks to her size. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: The fragility of these women sucks the fun out of the meeting-and-culling process that should be the entertainment heart of any dating reality show. Read full review
