Reception

The first season holds a 100% "Certified Fresh" score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 29 critic reviews with an average rating of 7.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Tonally elastic and blessed with Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer's sparky chemistry, Colin from Accounts makes the alchemy of a satisfying rom-com feel effortless."[9] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the season holds a score of 80/100, based on seven critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[10]

The second season holds a 100% "Fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 14 reviews with an average rating of 9.0/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Retaining its first season's laidback charms without resting on its hind legs, Colin from Accounts' second outing is as cranky, funny, and delightful as ever."[11] On Metacritic, the season holds a score of 90/100, based on eight critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[12]

Kylie Northover of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the show 4-stars stating "Yes, that's right: it's a romcom. But Australian romcom offerings, particularly on television, are something of a rarity, so to see one executed well, and with particular emphasis on the 'com', is a genuine treat."[13] Film and TV critic Luke Buckmaster from Guardian Australia also gave the series 4-stars, praising the writing efforts of co-stars Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall: "Here we're in good hands, with Dyer creating the show and co-writing it with Brammall, the pair developing their roles from the inside out – creating personalities that slowly reveal layers, nuances and virtues in ways that feel genuine and germane to the narrative."[14] The Economist listed Colin From Accounts among the best TV shows of 2023, describing it as "charming" and calling the dialogue "superb".[15]
