	Author	Review
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"'Neo Yokio' has a lived-in feel, as if every part of this fantastical trip through a world of fashion idols and demonic possession has a very specific analog in 21st century New York"	POS

United States	Miles Surrey AV Club	"For the satire to be effective (...) the character needs an actual arc (...) In the six-episode first season, there are perhaps 45 total seconds of introspection from Kaz"	NEG
