New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJun 25, 2014
Season 1 Review: While Taxi Brooklyn is an import, a low-cost summer rental, it has much of the lean, clean charm of, say, USA programs. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraJun 25, 2014
Season 1 Review: While there are many reasons to like Taxi Brooklyn, including and especially its two fresh and likable leads, it too often wobbles and stalls, unwilling to commit to one type of storytelling or the other. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonJun 25, 2014
Season 1 Review: Perhaps over that time, it will evolve into the buddy dramedy it needs to be. Until then, though, it's just another police procedural, and prime time already has plenty of those. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertJun 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: If you like some of those undemanding USA shows, you just might cotton to this one. Taxi Brooklyn requires no thinking--in fact, it discourages thinking. Ido is winning, too, which helps matters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: [A] too glossy, too skeletal procedural. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenJun 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: While Ms. Leigh’s character is a pastiche of cliched archetypes, Mr. Ido’s taxi-driving scoundrel is a charmer. But it will take more than charm to watch Taxi Brooklyn and not feel like you’re being taken for a ride you’ve been on too many times before. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAllison KeeneJun 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: Despite the shaky-cam usage, jarring jump cuts and incomprehensible editing that complicates already head-spinning plots (where phrases like "Chinese hackers" are thrown out casually, but never followed up on), Taxi Brooklyn is still unlikely to fool viewers into thinking it is anything more than a middling show on a midweek night.
