	Author	Review
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"It’s too broad and familiar to hold attention."	NEG
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Cristela' wins the day with its easygoing attitude and superbly smooth cast. Alonzo has a bite to her wit that is reminiscent of the earliest, best days of 'Roseanne'."	POS

United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"A harmless but so far forgettable addition (...) If only the show had the gumption of its leading lady."	NEU
