"All told, the concept and casting have promise. But while it features a modern family, at first blush, Home Economics is no Modern Family."

—

CNN

"Home Economics has a canny central idea and a game cast, and though its first two episodes lack a certain surefootedness, there is potential there."

—

Variety

"While there is strength in the chemistry and in the specificity of some jokes, the idea is still a bit too generic overall to generate much anticipation."

—

A.V. Club

"Even though Home Economics starts off on a shaky foot in the funny department, the chemistry among the ensemble is so good that we’re hoping the show gets better over time."

—

Decider

"(The) promising-if-unformed new comedy Home Economics wants to be a timely show about the importance of family in a precarious post-quarantine world, when it's actually a comedy slightly out of sync with its time."
