	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[It has] the worst and funniest premise that marginally employed sitcom writers can currently conceive. And so far, it’s worked mainly as an indicator of quick cancellation."	NEG
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The family conflicts are facile and easily resolved on 'Back in the Game', but Terry is an appealing heroine, and she has an amusing new best friend."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"This ABC comedy (...) will need to get mileage out of more characters, but what’s here has the potential to hold its lineup spot between leadoff hitter 'The Middle' and ratings slugger 'Modern Family'."	NEU
United States	New York Post	"I don’t know if 'Back in the Game' will have a long shelf life, or if it will turn Caan into a prime-time star (...), but I do think it’s worth a half-hour of your time."	NEU
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"In this case familiarity breeds more comfort than contempt."	POS
