	Author	Review
United States	Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly	"'Benched' is more lightweight [than 'Enlightened'], but it's encouragingly funny thanks to Coupe, whose attempts at anger management showcase impeccable comic timing."	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"This may all seem assembled from a paint-by-numbers kit, but it clicks nicely, thanks to a lively group of supporting players."	POS
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"It’s a breezy, amusing half hour with a lead character whose insecurities poke through her confident exterior. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"'Benched' isn’t awful, but it’s much too formulaic."	NEU
United States	Lori Rackl Chicago Sun-Times	"At least this courtroom comedy is better than 'Bad Judge'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
