	Author	Review
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"There are many potential angles of imitation (...) [it] somehow manages to capture none of them (...) The series does have sharp moments around the edges"	NEU
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"[It] lacks bite (...) At least in the first episode, the series is better at its animated sight gags than its dialogue (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"While the character studies — and voice performances — are eerily accurate, the satire is surprisingly restrained. 'Our Cartoon President' appears to love its First Family a little too much to really skewer it."	NEU
United Kingdom	Jake Nevins The Guardian	"A fantastic parody (...) It works mainly because it’s not trying to be trenchant, cautionary or even vaguely political (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"The problem with 'Our Cartoon President' is that it's mining the same material as everyone else (...) and it only hits the mark about a third of the time."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"While 'Our Cartoon President' certainly has its moments, the best news for Showtime might be it's only stuck with this experiment in quick-turnaround animation, at least initially, for 10 weeks."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Tired jokes and soft edges make this Showtime comedy about the current White House a pointless, unfunny drudge."	NEG
