Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 08/04/2021
The pilot strains a little; Sedgwick's character seems to be built on the back of jokes, rather than jokes proceeding naturally from character... [But] things relax and improve. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 01/19/2021
Not much happens beyond exaggerated and unfunny stuff about mom not understanding kids today, or L.A., or social media. The central figure has no distinct personality and the show, at 30 minutes, seems to go on forever. Go to Full Review Michael Starr New York Post 01/14/2021
The most memorable character on "Call Your Mother" is a cute, cuddly golden retriever - which speaks volumes about the show's chances going forward. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 09/28/2022
Each season, one new network sitcom rises to the top of the heap to prove that it’s worth your time. Enter Call Your Mother, Spring 2021’s entry... Go to Full Review Marina Gordon Common Sense Media 01/26/2021

05/13/2021 As much as I like Kyra, her talent is wasted on this predictable and very un-funny "comedy". The writers use ancient jokes aimed at a very simple-minded audience. I'm surprised this show hasn't already been canceled...and the actors sent back to acting school. See more 05/08/2021 Put Kyra, the Aussie and Sherri Shepherd together in something - maybe they all move to Vegas - and it might be watchable. The immaturity of the kids is too much. The son's girlfriend and the daughter's roommate are WAY too much. The sets feel really tiny. They've done a lot with such a small space, but they shouldn't have to. Kyra's likeable and her character is earnest, but this won't last very long. See more 04/27/2021 Barf, disgusting Horrible annoying lump of a show See more 04/15/2021 I'm not sure yet. I've not convinced myself if it's good or mediocre but I continue to watch it. See more 04/14/2021 La serie es alegre con un humor sano y divertido. Es ideal para personas que buscan distraerse y reir con una serie familiar y cálida. See more 03/19/2021 I really want to like this show...I love Kyra Sedgwick but the platform seems very Nickolodean/Disney family entertainment like. She shines in everything but the supporting players are inconsistent; except for Patrick Rammel and Sheri Shepherd. Has potential... See more Read all reviews
