Jennifer Armstrong

It mixes the standard elements into a breezy good time, and ends with a number that'll stick in your head all day. Read full review

Randee Dawn

What you get is a light fantasy with amusing moments that works in a couple of cutesy songs. Read full review

Joanna Weiss

Ruby & the Rockits has no right to be as likable as it is ... But “Ruby & the Rockits’’ turns out to be a warm intergenerational comedy that never pushes life lessons in your face. Read full review

Mike Hale

If you’re old enough to remember “The Partridge Family” and young enough to remember it fondly--which means you’re in your mid-40s and can recite the Echo Valley phone number--then you might enjoy Tuesday night’s pilot episode of Ruby & the Rockits on ABC Family. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Given the dark flavor of Shaun Cassidy's adult TV creations and his own experiences within the music machine, Ruby feels surprisingly ordinary and uninformed, put together out of scraps from the old sitcom drawer. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Cassidys aside, the Ruby pilot, at least, feels more Disney Channel than ABC Family, with a sitcommy pace that doesn't allow for much in the way of plot or character development. Read full review

Brian Lowry

So while there's a genial enough beat at Ruby's heart, based on the pilot, the prospect of regularly watching the show is enough to make you "Da Doo Ron Ron" for the hills. Read full review
