The Hauntley family have to learn to do things the "Pennsylvania way", especially when Vee is at school, all while keeping their monster lives a secret from humans so they don't scare them.

[25] Dave Trumbore of Collider included Vampirina in their "Best Animated Series Debuts of 2017" list, saying that the show is "a super-cute take on The Munsters or The Addams Family with a bit of the "new kid in school" thrown in for good measure".

[27] Ryan Britt of Fatherly ranked Vampirina 87th in their "100 Best Kids TV Shows Of All Time" list: "For kids who are having a hard time feeling seen at school, or for anyone feeling left out, Vampirina is both sweet and smarter than its saccharine appearance".
