John Corry, writing in The New York Times, had a mixed response to the series. Corry stated that the series "ha[s] its moments", writing that the topic of male midlife crisis "isn't a bad idea for a comedy series". He noted that Mulligan portrayed Reggie with much the same persona as that of his character in Soap: "He dithers, he does double takes, he mugs. If you think this is funny, you'll think Reggie is funny." Writing about the opening episode, Corry noted that the sexual fantasies within the first episode were not risqué, writing that the series "pretends to be naughty, but like so many soap-opera comedies it really isn't". He noted that the writers "go in for antic humor, and much of the time they find it. But the parts don't add up to a whole, and Reggie is only another series about a klutz".
