"Without loving Close Enough, I found the show close enough to effective that the eight episodes I watched went by quickly. I'll be curious to see how the series and Quintel continue to evolve and mature."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Combined with the truth of a lost social contract allowing a clear path to stability and security, Close Enough has the potential to be a defining show of the 2020s."

—

A.V. Club

"Close Enough is a departure from Quintel's Regular Show in a number of ways, but the heart and humor serve as the connective threads."

—

Collider

"Its many nostalgia-based in-jokes may not be able to lure in viewers on either side of its tightly targeted demographic, but if you fit in that range, it's effective and entertaining."
