Entertainment Weekly
Overall, the reliable dramedy delivers more campy fun.
80
The New York Times
The series has humor and charm beneath its facile message, in large part (no disrespect intended) to a subtle, winning performance by Ms. Elliott.
80
Los Angeles Times
Berman produces a deft juggling trick of heart and humor, balancing Deb's shallowness with some solid common sense and Jane's inadequate self-esteem with kindness and legal brilliance.
75
New York Post
While it sounds pedantic, downright corny, and done to death, Drop Dead Diva is actually fun, funny and sometimes and in some ways even touching.
70
Boston Globe
As Deb-inside-Jane, Elliott does a great job portraying pathos, absurd disappointment, and wide-eyed discovery. She’s far more interesting to watch than the other characters.
50
The Hollywood Reporter
Despite all this talent and potential, stereotypes about body image--fat and skinny--are layered on so thick that it's hard to see this show as changing anyone's minds.

New York Daily News
it's still feeling like a pasted-together assortment of ideas and plot lines from productions past.

Brooke Elliot is simply incredible in this role. She portrays the conflict of these two women sharing the same body so well and she is the main reason this show is so engaging. Margaret Cho as her assistant and friend is as entertaining as ever as well. All around great cast and the storyline keeps the view involved.
