Reception

Howard Rosenberg of the Los Angeles Times called the series "another routine sitcom", which revolves around a "noisy family". Steven Linan, also of the Los Angeles Times, said the "uninspired sitcom could use further alterations in concept and scripts" since the show already had its title changed from Come Fly With Me. Tom Shales of The Washington Post was equally unimpressed and called the series "among the least amusing" of the new season. However, Tony Scott of Variety said "sharply written by creator Amy Sherman, directed expertly by Gail Mancuso, the Nardinis are people worth visiting". Scott further stated that the series "exudes joy, not cynicism, charm, not snideness".
