	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Some of us won’t be able to watch 'MacGyver' without feeling like we’re getting a lobotomy with an unwound paper clip; others will be delighted by this energetic, easygoing update."	NEU
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"The slick action is soulless, the voice-over is awkward, and Till isn’t faceted enough to add a human dimension."	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"This combination of odds and ends and wires and tin foil doesn't make a hit. (...) There’s a lot of action, fleet camera work and an annoying, anachronistic voice-over narration by our pretty hero."	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Watching MacGyver try to gadget his way out of a predicament just makes you think, 'Isn't there an app for that?'"	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"Till’s delivery is wooden and clunky. The writing doesn’t help--the pilot script is full of silly plot short-cuts and painfully cheesy lines."	NEG
