''s "New TV Classics" list. In 2009, the publication named ''The Comeback'' one of the 10 best shows of the decade, calling it "the most brilliantly brutal satire of reality TV ever captured on screen." In 2012, the magazine listed the show at #8 in the "25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years," saying, "Both painfully uncomfortable and deadpan hilarious, ''The Comeback'' was spot-on in its inside-showbiz look at the making of a sitcom – while featuring one of the decade's biggest sitcom stars, no less. But it was so inside, it was too inaccessible to a mass audience, or even an audience that might have returned for a second season on HBO." ''Entertainment Weekly'' also voted Valerie Cherish on ''The Comeback'' as Lisa Kudrow's second best performance. ''The New York Times'' gave the show a lukewarm review, dubbing it "interesting", but also complaining about a lack of originality in the concept and finding ''The Comeback'' ultimately less entertaining than its fellow HBO series ''Entourage''.

On the other hand, Kristi Turnquist gave the show a mixed review, writing: "While the first few episodes of the new ''Comeback'' make stingingly accurate points about the sexism and ageism Valerie has to contend with, ''The Comeback'' has its own problems. As in the first go-round, Valerie comes off as cartoonish, a caricature of a so-so celebrity." The last episode of Season 2, "Valerie Gets What She Really Wants", received almost universal praise, scoring 10/10 and A scores across the board.

Future

According to HBO, the show drew an average of 1.4 million viewers across its channels and on demand – Kudrow said she has not "heard it officially," but that she and King have gotten the impression that the door is open for more. Soon, she hopes she and King will begin to "talk about what more would look like." In a 2014 interview with E!, Kudrow also had this to say: "I would love to do more. In 2005, that was an ending, that was definitely an ending because I guess now we see that those episodes were a piece and these episodes were a piece and then if we do more then we will be doing that piece."
