Critics' reviews

"The punch lines are predictable, but the kid and his stern uncle generate a great deal of comic energy."

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"Smith's breezy and non-combative charm gives this the look of a winner. Even if, in concept, it's more nap time than rap time."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"'Fresh Prince' coasts along on the considerable charm of Smith."

Miami Herald
"'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' is being touted as a sure hit. If it becomes one, it will be because of the raw likability of its star (...) not because of his acting skills or even anything that's been written for him in this NBC comedy."
