"Eugene Levy might have reluctantly travelled to these places, but the viewer will happily go along for the ride."

—

Collider

"A sweet stunt travel show that mixes touristic interest with incidental comedy and late-life personal growth."

—

Los Angeles Times

"It makes for great eye candy and some droll moments, but I’m not buying the reluctant thing for a second."

—

The Age

"Eugene Levy is the best. His new show is not."

—

A.V. Club

"The lavish resorts are enticing, but The Reluctant Traveler is easily at its best when Levy gets away from his wealth and interacts with the people at his destinations."
