The good Lord created sitcoms like The Soul Man as relaxing, relatable humor with heart, and Cedric's new creation isn't about to mess with His template.

The Soul Man isn't great, but it's the best sitcom yet developed for TV Land. [2 Jul 2012, p.40]

Though it never quite hits its stride, the show never pitches us into the abyss.

While the two previewed episodes both play pretty broadly--there's also a warm spiritual side, which involves Boyce tending to his flock.

Slate
The show, warm and cheesy, fits right in as another nacho plate on the network's menu of comfort food, another new sitcom that plays like a re-enactment of an old one.

Cedric the Entertainer, Nash and Beasley go with this flow--and flow pretty well.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
There's nothing wrong with TV Land trying to revive the old-school, multi-camera sitcom but the pilot for this show wouldn't have cut it in the 1980s.
