Critical response
A review of Levenson's second episode in the trade publication Variety said that the show "appears to be uneven in entertainment qualities, rising and dipping according to the human interest of the contestants." Specifically, the review noted that in that episode Levenson's "humor clicked" with one couple, while the segment with another pair of contestants lacked spontaneity. The reviewer suggested that the show's format might be too confining for Levenson's talents. ==References==
