- Once you get into the groove of Harmony and Me and realize the film is not only very tightly scripted, hilarious, and quite brilliantly acted, you’ll quickly be won over.
- 80Time OutKarina LongworthTime OutKarina LongworthHarmony is a finely tuned comedy, complete with precisely scripted jokes and comic set pieces that swerve toward the playfully perverse.
- Harmony and Me, written and directed by Austin-based Bob Byington, represents much of what is wonderful and fresh about the recent wave of ultra-low-budget American independent filmmaking.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBob Byington directs with an exact sense of what he wants; consider the perfect timing of his use of Harmony's mom (Margie Beegle). How she says "don't ask me" and "leave me out of it" is unreasonably funny.
- 70VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibBristling with wry wit and peopled with a rogue's gallery of disaffected losers.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceSlight, indifferently shot, and entirely lacking in ballast, Harmony and Me's sole justification for being is that it's consistently very funny.
- 50The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDespite the film’s sketchy aesthetic and barely animate lead, its tone is carefully contrived: I’ll wager no one in your circle is as dryly funny or spontaneously surreal as Harmony’s nonsupport group.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttA slow meander through the mostly stagnant life of a character hardly worth the bother.
