Critical reception

The New York Daily News gave it 2 stars and added, "Mainly, it's just another low-rent celebrity show along the lines of Keeping Up with the Kardashians - typical for a genre these days that asks very little of celebrity subjects in exchange for getting them on the air." [1]

Note the Los Angeles Times' Mary McNamara: "Age may have prompted her to prove there is a person underneath all that hair, behind all that décolletage, but it's a crowded genre, honey, and Girl on the Loose seems just a little too little too late." [2]
