Another gatherer, Rotten Tomatoes, gave a 21% rating based on 14 reviews, with a critical consensus, "Cultural sitcoms-this clash is too mired in unkind jokes and stereotypical characters to bring a lot of insight into the global marketplace." Joel Keller of TV Squad in the pilot episode review stated, "During the show can test cultural differences, show how all offices are the same wherever they are, and away from easy jokes, NBC can have another Thursday comedy hit." Alessandra Stanley from The New York Times stated "The fact that it is not embarrassing or very offensive - so rolling, the show is actually quite captivating - is a compliment to the performers and writers." Critics like blogger Mikey O'Connell have accused Outsourced as a racist. Matt Rouse of the TV Guide writes, "The clash premise tradition immerses itself in a caricature gutter and silly jokes".
