His show clearly has an emotional quality that resonates with his fans. Too bad, then, that he fails to bring sufficient focus and consistent comic observation to his subject matter.

New York Times

"Homecoming King" seems unsurprising and premature... Appropriating from one world while trying to secure a place in another makes you wonder if he's really found his identity at all.

Dennis Perkins

AV Club

Homecoming King triumphs by transforming a seemingly intractable dilemma into thoroughly, hilariously human comedy.

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The centrepiece for Minhaj is a truly astonishing and bittersweet tale about his prom that is alone worth the price of admission.

Black Nerd Problems

You don't come out here on Netflix with a comedy special that's part Ted Talk, part off-broadway play, part memoir, part nerd bars, and not change the game for the better.

The best stand up I have ever seen! It has unexpected heart, thought provoking material, and a great amount of comedy throughout what seems like one singular story that you are engaged with the entire time.

Unfunny, unentertaining. I got the feeling that this guy thinks he's cute for telling a story. He's too young and inexperienced to be compelling. Why don't we still use the term hack comic today? Are we supposed to learn to believe these progressive millennial "comedians" are funny? Minhaj's career seems to be forced on us for the sake of diversity rather than quality, like Trevor Noah.
