Aramide Tinubu of Variety says that while Happy’s Place is not a reboot of Reba, it has all the heart, fun and familiarity that drew fans in 20+ years ago. The sitcom adds some modern flair to tried-and-true tropes of traditional comedy in a way that’s both hilarious and nostalgic, Tinubu says, writing:

The comedy centers on two very different women who discover they're half-sisters whose late father has left them each half of his beloved Nashville watering hole.

Reba McEntire isn't done taking over your screen. Instead of mentoring aspiring artists on The Voice, the 69-year-old is making a return to comedy in Happy's Place. NBC's new sitcom stars the country star alongside another familiar face - her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman.
