	Media	Author	Review
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[12th Season Review]: A cranky, cantankerous delight (...) No matter how its finale plays out, ['Curb Your Enthusiasm']'s decisive season sends [Larry] off on top"
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"[12th Season Review]: After twelve seasons and 25 years of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', David's show is ending on a high note, and for a series that's been on this long, that's prettay, prettay fantastic"
		Meredith Hobbs Coons AV Club	"[12th Season Review]: Larry is back and just the way we like him"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[12th Season Review]: I laughed at least a couple of times at almost every new episode, but those laughs often came after long, uncomfortable stretches where none of the material in between landed"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[12th Season Review]: no less funny, no less edgy as alleged finale nears (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Jack Seale The Guardian	"[12th Season Review]: Larry David is the very best in the business (...) David’s comedy may have mellowed over time, but it’s like going to see a veteran rock band who’ve still got it (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[12th Season Review]: [It] isn’t a goodbye. It’s a buttress. And Larry will always make for a great butt of the joke"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[12th Season Review]: The show hasn't exactly evolved, and neither has its protagonist"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[12th Season Review]: Much of this season feels more tired, or perhaps just familiar. That said, there are still explosively funny moments"

		Joel Keller Decider	"[12th Season Review]: The final season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is pretty much more of what we've seen over the past 24 years. But it's still funny, howlingly so at times"
		Felicia Reich Paste Magazine	"[12th Season Review]: Effortless, affecting, and urgent, the final season leaves us to ponder just how humankind will fare in the future, considering how David spent his entire career shining a light on the asinine rules society demands we adhere to"
		Boyd Hilton Empire	"[12th Season Review]: With an array of great guest stars and triumphantly surprising storylines, the final season is as brilliantly funny and beautifully outrageous as ever (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[11th Season Review]: 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is back, same as it ever was, but never resting on its laurels or taking the easy way out."
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"[11th Season Review]: The return of the angriest yet most comforting comedy on television brings the perfect formula of celebrity cameos, snark and screaming (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

		Danette Chavez AV Club	"[11th Season Review]: [It] wasn’t a riotously funny premiere for the show, but it did excel at putting Larry through the wringer."

		Gregory Ellwood Collider	"[10th Season Review]: Is this all funny? Yeah, it absolutely is (...) But it feels atypically aggressive, strangely paced, and in some cases destructively impatient (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[10th Season Review]: [It] plays like a reward to those of us who have been with the HBO comedy from the beginning (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[9th Season Review]: Six years later, it feels as if nothing has changed — which is both a blessing and a curse"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[9th Season Review]: Even the bits that don’t work as seamlessly as you might want (...) pale in comparison to the joy that comes from watching Larry try to wriggle out of an endless amount of sticky situations"
		Lanre Bakare The Guardian	"[9th Season Review]: [Larry David's] approach to life makes him the perfect character to navigate questions of identity in 2017"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[8th Season Review]: Larry David proves again that he can mine gold over and over from the same idea"

		Joe Cunningham Empire	"[8th Season Review]: With Larry New York-bound, 'Curb' gets an energy boost. Features a wonderfully tasteless arc with Michael J. Fox (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Eric Goldman IGN	"[7th Season Review]: This show has some tremendously high standards it has set for itself. Even taking into account some off episodes, there were plenty of huge laughs throughout the season"
		Matt Goldberg Collider	"[7th Season Review]: The strengths of season seven far outweigh its faults (...) It's got plenty of replay value"
		Mark Oakley Den of Geek	"[7th Season Review]: 'Curb's plots are so successful because you can often see a little bit of yourself in Larry"

		Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"[5th Season Review]: Remains bracingly rude and funny"

		William Thomas Empire	"[5th Season Review]: The show remains resolutely unlike anything else out there (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tal Blevins IGN	"[4th Season Review]: Larry David pushes everyday situations to the absolutely limits of annoyance, but also manages to make those little irritations laugh-out-loud funny."
		Phil Gallo Variety	"[4th Season Review]: The funniest of the funny on television today"
		Tim Goodman SFGATE	"[4th Season Review]: It continues, in its fourth season, an astonishing run of cleverly constructed, fearless and wholly imaginative genius the likes we haven't seen on American TV in some time"
		Tom Shales The Washington Post	"[3rd Season Review]: [A] largely improvised and hugely hilarious comedy that returns in splendor for a new season"
		Peer Schneider IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: Larry still gets into heaps of trouble and you'll be cringing at the masterful derailments and degeneration into total chaos"

		Tom Shales The Washington Post	"[2nd Season Review]: Just like life, only funnier"
		Caroline Westbrook Empire	"[2nd Season Review]: The improvised dialogue is as fresh and funny as it was in Series 1, but the show’s real joy lies in its beautifully constructed storylines (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: To see what someone can do to reinvigorate the sitcom, look at HBO’s 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'"
		John Carman SFGATE	"[2nd Season Review]: The great thing about 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is that the dour David is a magnet for confrontation, often with strangers."
		Tom Shales The Washington Post	"[1st Season Review]: You know you will laugh, but you know you will cringe. You know you will guffaw, but you'll also likely wince. It's hard to imagine comedy that's any edgier, without being topical, than this"
		Chicago Sun-Times	"[1st Season Review]: [It] may be ridiculously silly, but, unlike 'Extras', its shenanigans are inventive"
		Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"[1st Season Review]: The David of 'Curb' is so scathingly direct that he’s also quite funny; half the time he’s just saying things that the rest of us are too polite or repressed to say"
