Reception
Michael Speier of Variety was generally positive in his review of All About the Andersons, noting that it was "a routine sitcom with tried-and-true mechanisms, but there's something brewing here that feels more distinct", and praised the series' star, stating "As a leading man, Anderson is a delight." Tom Shales of The Washington Post praised the "surprisingly effective dramatic moments between Anthony Anderson as a struggling actor and John Amos as Joe, his very hard-shelled dad." Tom Jicha of Sun-Sentinel was more mixed in his assessment of the series, declaring "There's a lot to like about All About the Andersons" but also warning that "Unfortunately, the material is boilerplate sitcom..."
