Saying the television series "simply isn't very good",
Waterloo Region Records Joel Rubinoff stated, "Blending elements of
Martin Short's big-headed
Jiminy Glick and
Larry David's narcissistic super-geek on
Curb Your Enthusiasm,
Hey Joels attempts at cheeky satire are amusing in small doses but too often come off as grating and overwrought."
Toronto Star television critic Rob Salem wrote about the show, "Does the whole add up to the sum of its parts? Well, yes and no. Given the entire music industry as source for satire, you would hope there would more of that and less of the intentionally annoying Stein." Emily Hutton of
The Hamilton Spectator praised the show, writing, "I would definitely check out this show if you get Bravo, because it has the sarcastic humour (think David Spade as a cartoon) that many people enjoy." ==References==
