United States | The New York Times | "[Season 1 Review]: Like Joel, a good many viewers may discover that the characters kind of grow on you. A first-rate cast makes it all the more easy. As Ed says to Joel about the gamey mooseburgers, you'll get used to it." | POS |
United States | Seattle Post-Intelligencer | "[Season 1 Review]: Some spots are noticeably rough and unfinished, with several lapses into clicheland, and occasional bumps where the need to set the series' premise knocks against the wish to do good, episodic storytelling." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "[Season 1 Review]: The show's quirkiness is neatly mixed with a familiar fish-out-of-water theme, and its sensibilities are nicely in touch with soft humanity. It's delightful." | POS |

Otherwise, this is magical stuff that deserves a permanent spot on the CBS schedule." | POS |
United States | Newsday | "[Season 1 Review]: My fear is that the show may be too Alaska. TV is not ready yet for Nanook of the North, even if he has a New York accent." | NEU |
