	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] is of startlingly poor quality, and it’s a show whose stars deserve better (...) Corny jokes about race and sexuality are barely enough to shock anymore; we’ve heard them all before."	NEG
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Cool Kids' works well enough because [David Alan Grier, Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence and Leslie Jordan] have impeccable timing and could probably do this in their sleep and still nail it."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"It's nice to see a show built around older stars, even if it's one as tired as 'The Cool Kids'."	NEU
United States	Malcolm Venable TV Guide	"In the pilot episode at least, 'The Cool Kids' panders to stereotypes, cliches and tropes and boy, it's a good time."	POS
United States	Michael Starr New York Post	"What you will find are four sitcom veterans who do their best with predictable material — and, for the most part, manage to pull it off without breaking a sweat (or looking too silly)."	NEU
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"A surprisingly funny, well-paced premiere that makes what so many sitcoms struggle with look easy: mix exposition with moments of actual humor"	POS
