Reception
Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online said that while the show's writing and casting was good, the premise might not be original enough to score a big audience. Robert Bianco of USA Today gave the show 3 out of 4 stars. David Hinckley of the New York Daily News gave the show 2 out of 5 stars. Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times said Caan "owns the screen whenever he's on it," Lawson "holds her own," and Crichlow and Gluck's characters were "a delight."
