United Kingdom	Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: Minchin and Milly Alcock don't share the playfully brittle chemistry that made their original union pop and crackle (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[Minchin and Alcock] shine in a remarkably charming and moving yarn (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Sexton London Evening Standard	"An absolute treat of a series (...) 'Upright' is a balancing act itself, loose yet structured, sad but funny, touching lightly on heavy matters, taking naturally to the road movie format, moving along easily"	POS
United Kingdom	Michael Hogan Telegraph	"It was far smarter and more deft than it initially seemed. This was a sharp-tongued but touching portrayal of flawed characters with complex family dynamics (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"A slender work. Enough hijinks ensue to entertain, but you’re rarely given time to appreciate the weight of each regrettable secret"	NEU
United Kingdom	Helen Daly Express	"The real strength of 'Upright' is its ability to mix comedy and raw emotion with perfect balance"	POS
Australia	Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald	"A classic odd-couple road trip that hits all the familiar notes but still manages to surprise, delight, and occasionally have you reaching for the tissues (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"Minchin and Alcock make a good road trip pair, and that’s pretty much what 'Upright'is all about."	POS
