	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The result, unfortunately, is a dopey pilot episode that succumbs to the trap of portraying the ’80s only in obvious ways (...) and it rapidly turns into a prolonged, nearly laughless sketch about domestic life in the Pac-Man era."	NEG
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Goldbergs' (...) is fueled partly by nostalgia, partly by the great Jeff Garlin's constant yelling and partly out of some outstanding writing. A strong cast doesn't hurt, either."	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"When 'The Goldbergs' sticks to its loud, abrasive but loving family, it's fine. It's when it switches its focus to the '80s (...) that it gets into trouble. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"As fertile as the mid-1980s are for comedy, however, the pilot is too often grating--with a little of Garlin, in particular, going a long way."	NEU
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The characters and mishaps on 'The Goldbergs' are predicable, and the writing isn’t clever enough to overcome clichés."	NEG
