United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Self-awareness is an important element of documentary filmmaking, but here it also comes across as queasily self-serving"	NEU
United Kingdom	Carol Midgley The Times	"[2nd Season Review]: It is not just about football (...) It is about collective pride within a working-class community... It is about learning resilience and meeting despair with down-to-earth humour (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Australia	Craig Mathieson The Age	"[2nd Season Review]: The series is best as a culture clash satire and, most of all, as a genuine depiction of the bond between a club approximately 160-years-old and the community that has supported it"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney avoid stealing focus on the team’s charming documentary show. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS

United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Welcome To Wrexham' continues to show just how much the town of Wrexham and Wrexham AFC are intertwined, and how serious Reynolds and McElhenney are about bringing the team back to its former glory"	POS
United States	Shane Ryan Paste Magazine	"Brilliant 'Welcome to Wrexham' is a sports doc where ambition and humor collide It's no Ted Lasso—and it's better for it."	POS
United States	Max Covill Paste Magazine	McElhenney and Reynolds are only part of this winning documentary series that shines brightest when the people of Wrexham take the spotlight.	POS

United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"The show benefits from early good will but has to contend with the expectations that come after. The foundation is there for it to succeed. Like the team it’s chronicling, it just has to figure out its identity first"	NEU
United States	Max Covill AV Club	“[It] smartly doesn’t spend all of its time focusing on the starry duo; McElhenney and Reynolds are only part of this winning documentary series that shines brightest when the people of Wrexham take the spotlight"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"This one leaves a warm and fuzzy feeling behind, and manages to conjure as much affection for the ordinary fans as for the beloved celebrities who brought them here"	POS
