Critical reception

You Deserve a Drink was generally well received by reviewers. Writing for The New York Times, actor and comedian Michael Ian Black stated that "Hart is a pull-no-punches comedian with a talent for self-deprecation in the guise of self-aggrandizement, a winning formula."[5]

Colleen Stinchcombe, writer for She Knows said that "She is undeniably a funny lady, and her humor translates beautifully — even more powerfully, I’d argue — to the page. Her jokes have more time to build, her punchlines land harder. She’s created an entirely hilarious read that will delight her current fans by giving them a pitcher-sized serving of her normally shot-sized jokes and entice new readers who have enjoyed recent books by other humor heavy-hitters."[6]
