In its review, The Hollywood Reporter said: "North of North is unassuming in its humor, only occasionally provoking full-on belly laughs or delivering memorably quotable lines. But I found, as I kept watching, that what was near-constant was the smile on my face."
The Boston Globe said: "North of North is just plain interesting. The first season may be overburdened with exposition establishing how these characters live their lives, but it shows promise as a place to visit."
Rolling Stone added: "It’s not reinventing television, but between its setting and its star, it carves out a welcoming space for itself."

"Big feelings, turbulence and life-changing dilemmas abound, but most of all the show wants to make its people, and you, happy," penned The Los Angeles Times.
RogerEbert.com wrote: "A mostly winning exploration of Inuit culture, the stressful limitations of life in a small town, and the heartbreaking intersection between who you are and who you want to be."
North of North is available to stream now on Netflix.
