Herrera of The A.V. Club commented on the show saying that "there is some variation in the quality of the writing ... [but] the authenticity always shines through."

[10] Emily Stein of CrimeReads praised the show's host saying that "…does an excellent job of convincingly taking on the voice of each writer."
