	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A strong vehicle for a versatile talent (...) Extremely likable and frequently funny"	POS
United States	Tim Surette TV Guide	"Being a grown-up in today's world is hard. Fortunately, Comedy Central knows how to make it funny, too (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[While Awkwafina] is genuinely good on this show (...) it’s hard not to feel, a bit, like we are watching something more invested in mythmaking than in entertainment."	NEU
United States	Judy Berman Time	"The real pleasure of 'Nora From Queens' is in how elegantly it avoids the traps so many other TV shows about immigrant families fall into"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Enough works in this season to make it feel like a smart next phase in Awkwafina’s acting career (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"The mystery is why Awkwafina and series co-creator Teresa Hsaio thought Nora would make an entertaining central character (...) [It] is only fitfully amusing."	NEU
Canada	Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"It’s off to a good start (...) Awkwafina is up for almost any premise, and it’s fun to watch her barrel through one situation after another"	POS
United Kingdom	Adrian Horton The Guardian	"The thinness of the show’s plot thus puts a hefty burden on the shoulders of Awkwafina as the show’s star (...) But the wattage of her presence paradoxically highlights the show’s conceptual weakness (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
