Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by Rob Owen
Essentially a prime-time soap, Bomb Girls is a well-plotted, smartly written soap that doesn't shy away from, shocking, even gruesome, plot turns in showing the dangers of working in a bomb-making factory.

The New York Times by Mike Hale
The strained '40s-speak starts to recede in the third episode (four were sent to critics), and, not coincidentally, the performances begin to improve--what looked like community theater acting in the pilot suddenly seems more natural.

Uncle Barky by Ed Bark
Unfortunately, Bomb Girls is affixed with an oft-overwrought and at times just plain clunky script.

TV Guide Magazine by Matt Roush
A trite and drab melodrama about women on the WWII homefront who go to work on the dangerous front lines of a munitions factory, assembling bombs that aren't nearly as lethal as the corny dialogue and the comically stilted performances.
