Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: If the slightly less relaxed Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style doesn’t quite have "What Not to Wear’s" tone of cheeky camaraderie, well, never mind. It has Gunn’s "make it work" philosophy at its heart, and it has his spirit of compassionate, caring honesty. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Basically it’s a knock-off of TLC’s "What Not to Wear." But the Bravo version is watchable, mostly thanks to its host. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: Gunn is best when showing us what he knows, reacting critically to the thing in front of him rather than speaking lines meant to jog the narrative or jack up the drama. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For the most part, the show is content to be another study in the effects of fashion on self-esteem. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Gunn is fine in limited doses. I like him better as a design guru than the closet king. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, it feels as if he's sometimes forcing himself to emote for the cameras. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Guide to Style is too glazed and slick for its own good, too clinical and forensic to be any fun. Read full review
