Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 08/04/2021
On a nuts-and-bolts level, the vehicle is sound; it doesn't rattle too loudly or leak a lot of oil. The cast is very good, with enough depth and breadth that jokes can come from character. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 02/19/2021

James fans will love this overstuffed commercial for NASCAR and its many sponsors. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 02/17/2021
2/5
It is early days for The Crew, and a lot of now-classic comedies took at least a season to bed in, but this seems to lack the secret ingredient that might make you root for Kevin and the team. It is all a bit 10th place. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 08/04/2021
2/5
If you could assemble a network sitcom with an instruction manual and pre-packed components, like IKEA furniture, whatever you came up with might look a lot like The Crew. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 03/04/2021
3/5
Kevin James NASCAR sitcom has product placement, alcohol. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 02/27/2021
The jokes get better and the cast chemistry stronger as the series goes on. By the fifth episode, James and crew have it running like, well, a well-oiled machine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R @JustcallmeER Jul 12 Despite a hardworking cast that tries its best to get things moving, The Crew gets stuck in neutral, relying on Kevin James' standard vehicle formula. See more Rebecca S @RT04689274 05/05/2025 Just watched the first season and was super bummed that there was not a second season. This show was nothing flashy, but I enjoyed it. Would have liked to see another season. See more Regal R @RT96555783 03/05/2023 20/100 - i love kevin james but oh my lord jillians character ruins the show. Its not funny because youre just waiting for her character to come in and ruin whatever scenario is happening. Its such an unlikable character and not entertaining. See more 05/15/2022 Kevin james in a comedy about a struggling nasscar team? How do you mannage to f that up? Make it about the snowflake generation See more 12/09/2021 I found this show funny and charming, with Kevin and the surrounding cast did an overall good job. While, in my view, it would not rival shows like Big bang theory or Friends, it still maintains its uniqueness in comedy. The writers also created some natural story twists which flow through the story. Additionally, in my view, the show kept a neutral political bias that I appreciate in this day and age of constant agendas. As an automotive engineer, I quite enjoyed the blend of comedy into this slight field of engineering/mechanic/ automotive and NASCAR management background. Today we see so many shows surrounding doctors, lawyers and police. Still, we rarely take a look at grease monkey/ hands-on working-class professionals in non-documentary/ non-reality type shows. I would wish this show at least got a few more seasons. See more Chadd J @RT99579624 12/02/2021 The idea of a comedy is to laugh. This show was not even remotely funny, I chuckled a little bit at episode 4 and that was it. The plot was decent, but not enough to truly care. This has to be Kevin James worst comedy.
