	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] looks terrible. Beyond a lack of dynamic visuals, there are also plenty of technical slip-ups (...) It’s frustrating to see an artist with such ambition [Elba] settle for something so elementary"	NEG
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"As a vehicle for Elba-as-funny-guy, 'Turn Up Charlie' does its job (...) Elba has a natural, easy chemistry with his grown-up costars"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"'Turn Up Charlie' feels so calculated, it’s a wonder math equations don’t float across the screen (...) There’s very little substance, or humor, to be found (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] is lightweight even by the standard of vanity projects (...) The show is breezy and mildly pleasant"	NEU
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] keeps indulging its clumsier instincts (...) Its plots get lost in big set pieces and interpersonal DJ drama that’s nowhere near as interesting as the show wants it to be."	NEG
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"There’s nothing incredible or game chasing happening with 'Turn Up Charlie' and that’s perfectly fine because, in the end, what it’s setting out to accomplish is being done so in spades."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Not even Elba makes this worth a peek (...) 'Turn Up Charlie' isn't [watchable], mostly because of all the ridiculous conceits added to the premise"	NEG
