Release
Critical reception
The pilot of Hope & Faith received mixed reviews. Virginia Heffernan of The New York Times praised Ripa's acting, while observing that the series were not sufficiently smart for her.[1] Writing for PopMatters, Michael Abernethy denounced it as formulaic, and billed its humor as "dated and simplistic". Abernethy recognized that it did not reach its potential, despite recognizing that it "is all it needs to be" for the Friday night slot.[2] Variety reviewer Phil Gallo characterised the episode as predictable, "banal and derivative" and criticized its production, as well as McGinley's room.[3]
