Critics' reviews
- "Fox demonstrates superb and crafty comic timing in a tailor-made role"
- "Spin City is firing on all cylinders. It's a slick little contraption custom-built by professionals, and if it's not exactly full of surprises, at least it's roaringly competent."
- "With all that talent in its back pocket, why isn't Spin City better? The much-hyped ABC comedy isn't a bad show, but it relies too heavily on Fox's charms"
- "Alex P. Keaton grows up in this instantly likable sitcom graced with a solid leading man, a top-notch supporting cast, and a rich premise."
