Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 10/16/2019
The voices are very good, the writing wittily irreverent, and much like "The Simpsons," secondary characters on "Baby Blues" are at least as funny as the protagonists. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 10/16/2019

Except for Melinda's occasionally funny despair... Baby Blues is a bummer, and a bummer packed with talented actors going to waste. Go to Full Review Michael Speier Variety 10/16/2019
"Blues" may not be the hippest or the coolest animated skein to hit the airwaves - but it's a solid project from funny writers who know exactly what they're doing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robacus T @RT16941477 06/02/2024 The show is good for what it is. Legendary voice actors/tresses a solid story about young parents trying to live and fit in with society. Good life lessons but the main Dad gets the squidward torture pron treatment. It got a little unbearable at points. It's kind of depressing as an adult to remember how clueless people were in their 20s and even late 20s. I found myself wishing I could just give the characters some good advice. Decent show though.
