Writing in The Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Fienberg commented that A.P. Bio had a good cast and "the only thing holding it back is the small quibble that it's not actually all that funny."[48] Margaret Lyons of The New York Times called A.P. Bio "an abrasive sitcom that isn't merely unfunny, it's also deeply unpleasant."[49] Jen Chaney of Vulture said the series had bright spots but was "conceptually played-out" overall.[50]
