Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Wilson, who writes and serves as co-­executive producer, brings a sense of innocence to the sometimes ribald shenanigans. Read full review

Miami HeraldGlenn GarvinOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: [An] amusing, endearing, female-buddy sitcom. Read full review

PopMattersMichael LandweberOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: The jokes fly furiously during the first episode, and the delivery is impeccable all around. Read full review

USA TodayRobert BiancoOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: This is a series about outcasts trying to find their way in, and it's often at its best in its quieter moments. Read full review

Zap2it (Inside the Box)Laurel BrownOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Super Fun Night isn't the world's greatest show, but it has some serious potential. Read full review

Denver PostJoanne OstrowSep 11, 2013
Season 1 Review: It has the feel of a quirky cable comedy. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GayOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: There's a glimmer of hope here, and her name is Rebel Wilson. Now, the show needs to match her talents. Read full review

Under The RadarLily MoayeriOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: More risk-taking with the jokes and stepping up to the comedy from the rest of the cast and the show might eventually become something--and that's only if they can come up with enough stories for what is essentially a thin, workplace/home life crossover sitcom. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, though Wilson remains gorgeously fearless in her willingness to go all in, neither the network nor Wilson (she is an executive producer) know quite what to do with that. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: There is something here for sure but the show has yet to find its footing. Read full review

The A.V. ClubEmily VanDerWerffSep 30, 2013
Season 1 Review: This is one that is built so thoroughly around a personality that it seems like someone forgot to fill the actual show in around the edges of that personality. Read full review

Newark Star-LedgerVicki HymanFeb 13, 2014
Season 1 Review: The humor is generally broad, although Wilson doesn't always play it that way, and when she showcases a bit of wry, knowing wit we remember from "Pitch Perfect," I see glimmers of hope. Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: Super Fun Night isn’t entirely super-bad, but so far that’s about the good thing to be said about it. Read full review

HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Don’t be a version of a sitcom character that we’ve seen before. And be a character. Don’t just be Rebel Wilson in a star vehicle. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: The grotesque extremes to which Wilson stoops to get laughs in this frenetic vehicle have a whiff of desperation.... Her workplace feels like a retread of elements of Sara Rue's Less Than Perfect. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen GrayOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: It's a slight enough premise but one that could work if Kimmie had even a quarter of the confidence of her creator. Read full review

The New York TimesAlessandra StanleyOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: Ms. Wilson is an original who has proved that she can be very funny, and a premiere episode is rarely the best indicator of how a show will develop. But the first glimpse of Super Fun Night is disappointing. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: This show doesn’t have to be super. It does have to be fun. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowrySep 27, 2013
Season 1 Review: While Wilson’s boisterous personality can’t help but occasionally charm, the material is relatively slight, and having now seen two stabs at establishing the central trio, one fears the idea bank isn’t nearly as deep as it should be. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: It's all too cringe-worthy, even as Wilson goes all out to show us that she's happy the joke's on her. Even if you applaud her for that, Super Fun Night is not funny enough to be so sad. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: As a package, Super Fun Night isn't much fun at all. The Kendall character is just too obviously mean and pretty and successful. Read full review

SlateWilla PaskinOct 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Super Fun Night has the distinct feel of being taken out of the network oven only half-baked. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerDavid HiltbrandOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: This is not going to be pretty. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to be very funny, either. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: A bigger problem is that Super Fun Night still isn’t all that funny. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesLori RacklOct 1, 2013
Season 1 Review: It’s more like Sad Downer Night watching the talented Wilson repeatedly exploit her own heft in a failed attempt for cheap laughs.

The Huffington PostMaureen RyanSep 19, 2013
Season 1 Review: Super Fun Night isn't just bad, it's infuriatingly bad, given Wilson's likability, game energy and overall potential as a TV personality. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverSep 15, 2013
Season 1 Review: Once more we plunge into the unsettling, split-personality narrative of today’s post-feminist young women, whose theme song may as well be 'You Are 27 Going on 12.' Read full review
