Season 1 Review:
Everything is very taut if superficial. Among its draws is that Dick Wolf is an executive producer of the show. .... The abbreviated running time for “On Call” works mostly to its advantage, the current sweeping you along without time to get too distracted by, say, Lori Loughlin playing a lieutenant. This also helps the show feel less formulaic than it truly is, its rhythms less predictable.

Season 1 Review:
Overall, On Call has its merits, especially when it comes to the portrayal of Harmon and Diaz's partnership. The main characters anchor this procedural, which doesn't answer all the questions that it lays out from the pilot onward. Yet the tension between Harmon and her colleagues isn't explored enough, and neither is Harmon's drive to seek justice for Delgado.

Season 1 Review:
Amazon Prime’s “On Call,” the latest drama from executive producer Dick Wolf, is so intent on selling audiences on the idea that police are unfairly maligned and in danger every moment, of every day, that it forgets to tell a coherent or even fitfully entertaining story.

Season 1 Review:
Ultimately, these brief moments of lightning-rod right-wing moralism are the only memorable parts of this series. Riddled with clichés and uninspired in its criminal underworld narrative, it's as boring as this genre gets — the episodes may only be half an hour, but they feel a hell of a lot longer.

Season 1 Review:
It’s clear that On Call wants to pay tribute to the complexity of this profession, without falling victim to either pure copaganda or abolish-the-police sermonizing. But the changes it makes from familiar formulas are almost insultingly cosmetic, and the serialized portion of its storyline is soapy and cartoonish.
