	Author	Review
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"The show seems a pale imitation of 'The Goldbergs'."	NEU
United States	Lori Rackl Chicago Sun-Times	"This miscast, tone-deaf family sitcom fails on multiple fronts, the biggest being J.K. Simmons’ nonsensical character. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The premise (...) lacks heft, which leaves not much more than admiring Simmons--a highly versatile actor — as he does what he can with gags about his character’s insistence on doing things like driving and cutting down trees."	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"I thought 'About a Boy' was bad, but then I watched 'Growing Up Fisher' and realized that things can always get worse."	NEG
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Simmons does his usual solid work in this role (...) Elfman makes another solid statement that she should be in something much better (...) Together they're just undermined by, well, syrup."	NEU
