[14] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media rated the show four out of five stars, stating, "This fun and funny show has broad appeal and will entertain families, and the facts that are shared by the actual expert can teach the audience a thing or two. That said, parents can also use the show to talk with kids about honesty and the consequences of telling fibs in the real world." [15]
