Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 06/06/2019
Though burdened by some of the worst writing I`ve heard in some time, it is made relatively palatable by the pleasing presence of Valerie Bertinelli... The reason is that she is pertness personified, and those around her react with according amiability. Go to Full Review Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 06/06/2019
Valerie Bertinelli as a private eye? Yes, it's a laughable notion, and one reason Sydney is better than expected is that it laughs at the notion. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 06/06/2019
In truth, Bertinelli is miscast, or rather, the show has been misconceived around her. But she brings to it her usual vast reserves of pluck and charm. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 06/06/2019
When she finally gets around to sleuthing, her first case should be to apprehend the culprit who stole the humor from her show, because the premiere has been wiped clean. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 06/06/2019

It's not a total laugh riot, but Bertinelli holds together a sometimes shaky fort with great flair. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
