The Daily Telegraph rated it a 2 Star out of 5. It stated : "...the concept: those on the dates are there to be laughed at, by the comedians, by us, therefore they have to be risible – buffoons, braggarts and Barbie dolls. We cannot root for the singletons, as we do so often on First Dates, which robs the show of heart and purpose." [10]
The Chortle rated it a 3 Star out of 5. [12]
Sportsology called it "Dating on Steroids" and also "The hosts are funny, and the daters have no boundaries." [13]
