	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"The stakes here are remarkably low. As with any comedy, this show may live and die by how quickly the writers and cast can gel into dynamics all their own"	NEU
United States	Michael Starr New York Post	"[It] is a pleasant enough diversion for the next six weeks. Hope springs eternal, but it’s unlikely to plant itself into ABC’s primetime schedule for next season (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Bell and Shepard make for a likable pair (...) [It] has the elements to become a pleasant comedy success, but with only the pilot, very hung up on establishing its premise, to go by here, it would require me to project."	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Bell shuffles facial expressions the way a magician riffles cards (...) We may not be rewatching 'Bless This Mess' in 40 years, but it’s worth embracing now."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"After less than a half-hour of setup, there’s no way of saying if the first season is richer or poorer than the sum of its parts."	NEU
United States	Judy Berman Time	"The pilot shows a lot of potential (...) The show balances old-fashioned sweetness with of-the-moment characters and cultural references"	POS
