[46] The series has also inspired many memes on the internet. [47]

Critical response

Reviewing the first two episodes of the anime, Steve Jones of Anime News Network gave the series a 3 out of 5 star rating, saying it "emerges as an odd beast to pin down", while also commenting that its comedy "[has] definitely been hitting more often than the average isekai", with Jones admitting he had fun watching the episodes. [48] In another review, Jones remarked how he enjoyed the series mostly because of its fan service. He also stated, "Do You Love Your Mom continues to function as a reasonably amusing self-aware isekai romp with plenty of motherly cheesecake to titillate its audience, but in no way do I trust it to say anything meaningful about motherhood without tripping over itself." [49] In a third review, Jones highlighted how the anime addresses real-life issues related to abusive parent-child relationships, as, according to him, "It's good to try and address abusive parenting." [50]

Bipin Adhikari of Comic Book Resources expressed his opinion that the series is "as hysterical as the name suggests". [51] The review anime website Beneath the Tangles wrote, "Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? offers a fun play on the usual light novel shenanigans by saddling the hapless male protagonist with his doting mother. This does offer some amusing comedy. However, the [series] does also offer a nice glimpse at a deeper them [ sic ] of motherhood and managing the bond between a mother and a teenage child who's starting to want some independence." [52]

Allen Moody of THEM Anime Reviews gave the anime a 2 out of 5 star rating, criticizing the series for its absurdly long title and dynamics between the characters. [2]
