Socialite Allison Conklin locks herself in the room of her fancy New York high rise because she's about marry a snob she does not love. The janitor tries to help out. Whaddya know? He's her high school sweetheart, Eamon McBride, a hockey player with a bum knee who went bust trying to open a restaurant and now lives in the hotel's basement with his dad, the doorman. She, of course, is loaded. The old flame is re-ignited and now they must deal with class differences and her wealthy father, who is aghast.

Hal Boedeker

Orlando Sentinel

This old-fashioned romantic comedy tries to pump itself up with risque dialogue and drunk jokes. Swoosie [Kurtz] plays a souse gamely, but just about everything is lame.

Michele Greppi

New York Post

It's good for a few laughs, most of them attributable to [Swoosie] Kurtz, who effortlessly steals every moment of every scene as Effie Conklin, who makes her stuffy billionaire husband Nicholas the baronial butt of most of her jokes.

Variety

[Swoosie] Kurtz is a bubble-slurping delight as the highbrow lush from hell. But one inspired performance does not a show make.

There is nothing about Love & Money that hasn't been done countless times before. It is a joy, however, to see it done so refreshingly.

Terry Kelleher

People Magazine

This labored new sitcom was originally titled Love or Money, as in "Ugh, I wouldn't watch that thing again for love or money." The ampersand can't hurt, but it doesn't add much to the quality of the show.

Deseret News (Salt Lake City)

"Love & Money" is almost a very funny show. But, somewhere along the line somebody decided not to throw caution to the wind and made what's essentially a pretty safe sitcom.
