Critic Consensus: Though watching Andrea Martin is enjoyable, Working the Engels wastes her talent with groan-worthy gags and lackadaisical writing.

It's a real pleasure to see [Andrea Martin] back on the small screen in Working the Engels, a less-than-ambitious sitcom that shines every time she makes an appearance.
If you like watching Martin go way, way over the top - and, in all honesty, I do - then you might find something here to enjoy.
Just watch these able actors work. They are the show.
The situation and characters are uninspired and generic, and the execution is half-hearted. It will inspire no more laughter in viewers' homes than it did in the writers' room and on the set.
It brims with energy, gives Martin something reasonably gainful to do, marks Rohl as a promising, appealing comedic actress and has enough decent gags to make a case for itself.
After Arrested Development, the wild and crazy antics of the rest of the Engel family are incredibly uninspired and unfunny.
