Critics' reviews

"[2nd Season Review]: The three episodes made available to critics remain above the guilty-pleasure fray, with catchy new songs, wacky diamond-encrusted, fur-lined hijinks and, of course, Cookie."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[2nd Season Review]: It does make for a fairly enjoyable if rather nutty stew, albeit one that requires ignoring things."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"[Strong and Daniels] oversee the pilot with an unfussy style and attentiveness to nuanced characterizations. I hope they have enough imagination to nurture an ongoing series without pulling punches ... or going soap opera."

Jeff Jensen: Entertainment Weekly
"Almost nothing about 'Empire' (...) feels original, but just a few minutes into the premiere episode, you’ll stop caring."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"The series has great potential. The question is whether 'Empire' should stick to being a good family drama in a vibrant contemporary setting with a topical issue woven into the story, or whether it can measure up to the pretensions to great literature."

Joanne Ostrow: Denver Post
"If the rest of the series is anything like the pilot, this is one party you don’t want to miss. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Lori Rackl: Chicago Sun-Times
"Like the Carringtons on 'Dynasty' and the Ewings on 'Dallas', the Lyons play dirty and fight dirty. How far they go to control their musical Empire should be fun to watch. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Robert Rorke: New York Post
It was the #1 TV Series in the 2014-15 TV Season Series Rankings.
