Response
Critical reaction was largely negative with USA Today's Robert Bianco saying the show makes the "mistake of trying to build a star vehicle around a second banana." The New York Times said it was "a rickety vehicle for Jason Alexander."
Critics disagreed on the supporting cast. USA Today said "when Listen Up focuses on its supporting cast, the show works" with The New York Times saying it had a "stiff supporting cast."
Matt Rouse of TV Guide wrote, "Forget about the Seinfeld curse, this is just mediocre material and bad casting".
