USA TodayRobert BiancoMay 8, 2014
Season 1 Review: It won't take you long to recognize this inept remake for the dull, clumsy bore it is. Read full review

Boston GlobeSarah RodmanMay 9, 2014
Season 1 Review: Even with actors who have done good work elsewhere, this Baby is a curiously lifeless “reimagining” with a thoroughly modern polish that actually makes the story harder to believe and lands well short of its target of generating atmospheric chills. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Matt Zoller SeitzMay 9, 2014
Season 1 Review: In nearly every scene of this Baby, you're judging it against the Polanski version and wishing you were watching that one instead. The writing is jumbled, the photography often merely pretty, the direction often shockingly clumsy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Nothing is remotely atmospheric, death scenes are predictable and boringly filmed, the best friend character might as well be wearing a red shirt, and the dialogue and plotting are horrendously executed. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushMay 9, 2014
Season 1 Review: Roman and Margaux Castavet (scene-stealing Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet, the best reasons to tune in). Closer in tone to ABC's failed 666 Park Avenue homage than to Roman Polanski's still-haunting 1968 adaptation, this Baby isn't likely to keep you at night. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanMay 12, 2014
Season 1 Review: So much of this remake loses the original’s subtlety (no doubt decades of more pointed horror movies have taken their toll) that outside of the aforementioned three worthwhile elements [Paris, Zoe Saldana, and Zoe Saldana in her underwear] everything seems to be a waste of time.
