British Comedy Guide, 18th September 2014Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Fans of Matt Berry saying the word "yes" in a loud voice will be heartened to discover that the sitcom that harnesses his powers more potently than anything since The IT Crowd is returning for a second series. A full-throated, over-enunciated riot - and they'll probably try to get everyone they know to watch it, just to make sure there's also a series three.

Sarah Dobbs, Den Of Geek, 3rd April 2014Radio Times review
There's something almost morbidly fascinating about this hopeless, hackneyed sitcom. The more it tries to sell itself as a frothy bit of fun, the more you can feel its gears groaning painfully through the motions. Has a jaunty ukulele soundtrack ever sounded so desperate?
The only mild highlight of the latest episode is a Lycra-clad guest performance from Rufus Jones - you may recognise him from eye-catching roles in Hunderby, W1A and Holy Flying Circus - as Alfie's swaggering South African boss. But even then he's merely a weak facsimile of every comedy alpha male from Peep Show's Johnson to Matt Berry in, well, everything. Very poor.
