The characters are vibrantly well-defined... And the writing is smart, with a light touch. |

Variety Laura Fries
An affable new sitcom. |

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker
Centers on a dating consultant (Busy Philipps) who has no romantic success of her own. Could it be because the show presents her as an overbearing know-it-all? |

USA Today Robert Bianco
Overagitated and overaggressive, Philipps is in constant motion; her face contorting, body twitching, voice braying. Against all odds, she has taken a show that was merely bad and made it truly unbearable. |

New York Daily News David Hinckley
Perhaps, with all the reality TV dating shows pervading the tube, there's not much appetite left for a sitcom about a fictional dating firm. More probably, there's just not much appetite for a sitcom that isn't funny. |

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond
While this show isn't terrible, demonstrating spirit and energy if not belly laughs, it will need to get funnier very quickly or risk dying a quick, inglorious death. |

Negligible. |

[A] trite little laugh-track factory. |

Humdrum. |

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland
We wonder whether the problem isn't in the casting but the paper-thin punch lines. No, wait, we don't wonder... we know that's the problem. |

The New York Times Virginia Heffernan
The writing on "Love, Inc." is unsparkly and sometimes labored. |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
The laugh track is far too enthusiastic for the lame attempts at comedy on display here. |

PopMatters Todd R. Ramlow
If it's trying to emulate Sex and the City, Love, Inc. misses the fact that that show presented us with complex characters from the get-go; here the single women are all pretty much one-shtick ponies. |

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
Woefully bad. |

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield
"Love, Inc." is as unintentionally unfunny as "Room and Bored" -- the sitcom within a sitcom on HBO's "The Comeback" -- was meant to be bad. |

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
Each character on ''Love, Inc." is a one-joke affair. |

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan
A grating comedy. |
