If the series could commit to examining the necessary politics that surround it, Deliverance Creek loves its trappings enough to have a bank-robbing good time with them.

Genevieve Valentine, AV Club

As presented, it simply feels like Lifetime saw Sparks' name and decided to cast Deliverance Creek into the waters of primetime - with too many paddles rowing in different directions.

Brian Lowry, Variety
Rotten

Let's hope it gets less murky.

David Hinckley, New York Daily News
Rotten

Characters and conflicts pile in as if this were the last bus off the island, and arrive at nothing that constitutes either an ending (to any of its many strands) nor, in its inconclusiveness, a statement about life, or people, or ambiguity or anything.

Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times
