Variety

The story needs more help than Kravitz can give it, leaning on a fairly simple and uninteresting sort-of-love-triangle.

The Guardian

The result is a show which is sometimes grating yet sneakily beguiling, in the way that beautiful, curated messiness can be.

The New York Times

I get that the main character is afraid to commit, but her show seems afraid to commit, too... Thanks to Kravitz's performance, I still cared tremendously about Rob and her well being.

IndieWire

So for a series that so often operates in tandem with the music playing in the background, "High Fidelity" has a consistent rhythm that's flexible enough to bend with the demands of each passing episode.

Salon

It does spur some insightful ruminations around how much emotional weight we place on music and any adopted cynical stances one might around what is cool and allowed and what is verboten.

IGN

High Fidelity makes great use of Zoe Kravitz and a slew of talented actors while using music geekery to weave together a truly authentic story of heartbreak and arrested development.

San Francisco Chronicle

Just as the ultra-magnetic Kravitz has sizzling chemistry with Ben-Adir, she has a warm, realistic camaraderie with Randolph and Holmes.

The Age

Despite looking effortlessly cool, Kravit manages to embody the slacker superfan perfectly; she's both annoyingly self-pitying and relatable (particularly to those of us who have ended relationships on the basis of bad record collections).
