	Media	Author	Review
		Caroline Framke Variety	"Not even stars like Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, and Tina Fey can make this clunky series sing."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Elegantly simple and enjoyable (...) Sometimes a simple idea executed well makes for a little gem."
		Maureen Ryan The New York Times	"The solid narrative skills and excellent casting on display in the premiere episode help prop up the wispier aspects of this inconsistent but sometimes charming anthology series."
		Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"Delightful, surprising, and poignant"
		Pilot Viruet The New York Observer	"[It] isn’t bad—there are far worse ways to kill four hours on a weekend afternoon, and it’s an easy watch—but it doesn’t have many smart things to say about modernity or love. It’s mostly trite and retrograde."
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"A delicious, easy, lovely dream of a show. Like the column that inspired it, it’s all goodness and charm
		Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair	"[It] feels like a commercial for a credit card company (...) [It] is an opportunity for both Amazon and the Times to produce something that feels like a Hallmark card"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"With its jazzy score and heart-tugging mix of romance and yearning, Modern Love feels like vintage Woody Allen"
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"Vapid, nauseating ... and that's before Ed Sheeran shows up (...) [It] boasts big names but flattens real stories into schmaltzy fantasies (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Helen Brown Telegraph	"To give Carney credit, if 'Modern Love's doors are locked against the messy realities of life, then they are also thrown wide open to the possibilities of human generosity and understanding (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Angelica Jade Bastien Vulture	"The major hurdle to connecting with 'Modern Love' is that the characters have the depth of a thimble"
