Gail Pennington · St. Louis Post-Dispatch 63.00/100.00

Nobody will watch Common Law to watch crimes being solved. But viewers may be engaged by the characters and their chemistry, and that's what USA is counting on.

Ed Bark · Uncle Barky 67.00/100.00

In the grand USA scheme of things, it's pretty much same old, same old. But that's still a workable recipe.

Linda Stasi · New York Post 63.00/100.00

This isn't ground-breaking TV, but if you're looking for a few good laughs and a lot of action without the commitment of marriage, Common Law the way to go.

Mark A. Perigard · Boston Herald 58.00/100.00

The bromance is over before it starts.

Matt Roush · TV Guide Magazine 70.00/100.00

It never takes itself very seriously, yet there is serious chemistry between these guys.

Mary McNamara · Los Angeles Times 60.00/100.00

It is nowhere near as smart as "White Collar" or as strangely touching as "Necessary Roughness" and seems content to hit well-worn marks, though more than occasionally with welcome style.

David Hiltbrand · Philadelphia Inquirer 60.00/100.00

The result is distinctly forced, but a standout cast manages to put a breezy top spin on some leaden material.

Diane Werts · Newsday 83.00/100.00

One thing you can say for USA: It knows what it's doing. It's got its shtick, and it's sticking to it.
