Tom Shales Washington Post 11/12/2019
[Christine] Baranski is doing her own show on her own planet, although eventually, the fact that she's on a different wavelength from everyone else in the cast may start to be less a blessing than a drawback. Go to Full Review Austin Smith New York Post 11/12/2019
The makers of this show probably believe the characters they've created are eccentric but endearing. Instead, except for the weatherman, they're all rude, nasty, offensive and conniving. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 11/12/2019

The biggest flaw in the pilot of Welcome [to New York] is that the writers and producers don't seem to be sure which side they're on. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 11/12/2019
