New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: The jokes flow nicely, the music is fun, and the pop culture references will make almost everyone smile. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: The interactions among the core four men are the key, and the likable actors playing them make most of the scenes work. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: This agreeable, though hardly groundbreaking, hour-long buddy comedy-with-music is almost as catchy as the cover tunes these wedding (and occasional Bar Mitzvah) singer/musicians specialize in. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: The Wedding Band delivers a good time, even if--sort of like an actual wedding band--nobody remembers much the morning after. Read full review

HitfixAlan SepinwallNov 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: There's a likability to it that occasionally reminded me of another one-hour comedy that loved music, NBC's "Ed," and the varied nature of the parties the guys play evokes Starz's late, lamented "Party Down." Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoNov 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: It's an affable show, but at an hour long, it starts to feel like a slow dance that won't end. [12 Nov 2012, p.46]

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydNov 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: The celebration and surrender are enough to put the viewer in a vicarious good mood, no matter how unconvincing its context. Read full review

Uncle BarkyEd BarkNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: The music has its moments and the comedy occasionally rattles home. Not nearly often enough to make it "Very Funny." But worth a few grins and maybe even a shimmy shake. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: Wedding Band is frequently vulgar, and few punch lines can be quoted here, but it has such affection for all its characters that you might be troubled that you can't return the love. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyNuzhat NaoreenNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: It just can't seem to deliver the same laughs (or swoons!). We're already getting cold feet. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: Not wild enough, not funny enough, Wedding Band comes off as merely OK entertainment. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandNov 9, 2012
Season 1 Review: The show isn't funny, but worse, it's not interesting. The characters are dull, the performances off the mark at virtually every level, and the writing is flatter than a deflated implant. Read full review
