San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandJun 1, 2012
Season 1 Review: What's remarkable about this quartet, and why Push Girls proves that reality shows can actually be intelligent and engaging, is that in most ways the women's lives are in fact not all that remarkable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: [These women make] instant impact, of course, with their stories but also through sheer personality. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisJun 4, 2012
Season 1 Review: The fact that Push Girls borrows heavily from the Real Housewives format is initially worrying, given the sensitive subject matter, but ultimately seems like a savvy, on-the-side-of-the-angels move. Read full review

TimeJames PoniewozikJun 8, 2012
Season 1 Review: It is, in other words, one more cable reality show about fabulous women. But in this case, the same old reality show is a refreshing change. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJun 1, 2012
Season 1 Review: Despite the leisurely pace of the filming, which lacks a certain amount of dramatic tension, there's a fiery spirit to Push Girls that cannot be ignored. Read full review

New York PostLinda StasiJun 4, 2012
Season 1 Review: Push Girls is more "Sex and the City" than "Real Housewives"--and more real than they've been--at least up until now. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerJun 4, 2012
Season 1 Review: The premiere episode tends to lapse into a "You go, girl" mode typical of shallow treatments of disability, with fist-pumping and treacly background music. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenJun 5, 2012
Season 1 Review: Push Girls is at its best when the women tell their stories and depict the challenges they face in everyday life. But when the show's stars convene for gabfests, it feels as inauthentic as other docu-series. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Push Girls is not as edifying as it might be, but it's not sanctimonious either. Read full review
