	Author	Review
United States	Shaina Weatherhead Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: the show and its host are also a gentle, humorous reminder that if you’re willing to take even the most trepidatious stride out of your comfort zone, there’s a whole world of experiences waiting for you"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"The set-up for each episode gets less and less intriguing as this promising travel show unfolds (...) Eugene Levy isn't just trying to skim over the 'pages' of the world but to truly understand them"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming Telegraph	"A flimsy travelogue (...) In Tokyo, he tells us that Japan is the most seismically active zone on Earth. 'Why am I here?' he asks. We're wondering the same thing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Australia	Karl Quinn The Age	"It makes for great eye candy and some droll moments, but I'm not buying the reluctant thing for a second (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"'The Reluctant Traveler' has similar beats to other reality shows of this nature, but Eugene Levy’s personality makes it worth watching. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Emily Bernard Collider	"Eugene Levy might have reluctantly traveled to these places, but the viewer will happily go along for the ride."	POS
United States	Todd Lazarski AV Club	"Eugene Levy is the best. His new show is not."	NEU
United States	Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"A refreshingly simple series that goes down easy (...) 'The Reluctant Traveler' is designed to capitalize on its host’s posh personality, sending Levy off into splendid spots across the globe to venture into new cultures"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"It’s a beautifully photographed, lightly comedic and actually quite informative slice of comfort viewing, succeeding largely because of the charms of our tour guide: (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"Eugene Levy makes a charming and easygoing host and narrator (...) [It] does connect with people who are less inclined to be adventurous than the average travel show host"	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"A sweet stunt travel show that mixes touristic interest with incidental comedy and late-life personal growth"	POS
