Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 79% approval rating based on 82 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "A winning showcase for Megan Stalter, Too Muchs approach to modern love is coolly detached but creator Lena Dunham's sharp sense of humor remains just right." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 68 out of 100 based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable".
Reviewing the series for USA Today, Kelly Lawler gave a rating of 3/4 and described it as "very funny and sweet, but also at times distinctly melancholy, and it navigates its different moods gracefully." Ben Travers of IndieWire gave a B and said, "Dunham's latest pulls off a tricky balancing act: giving audiences what we expect from a TV rom-com, as well as what we don't always get. Inkoo Kang of The New Yorker commented, "With its quicksilver shifts and sneaking sweetness, the experience of watching feels a lot like falling in love." Robert Lloyd of Los Angeles Times wrote, "The endgame, when we get to it, could not be any more conventional—which, I imagine, is the idea."
In the United Kingdom, Lucy Mangan of The Guardian was more critical, writing that the show "abandons any thoughts of innovation and hits cliche after cliche... the irreducible fact remains that Too Much would not be enough from anyone. From Dunham, it is way, way too little."
