Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a rating of 43%, based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 4.9/10. [36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 48 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [37]

Neal Justin of Star Tribune said, "Hannah Montana veteran Osment obviously learned a thing or two about hamming it up for the camera from Miley Cyrus. She has so much energy — dancing while she cooks, babbling nonsensical phrases, darting around the spacious pad — that by the end of the first episode, viewers might feel winded. The jokes are also full of life — and naughtiness. When she spots the lavish refrigerator in the kitchen, she practically wraps herself around it." [38] Gail Pennington of St. Louis Post-Dispatch stated that the show is "grounded by the charms of Emily Osment," asserting, "Young & Hungry is nicely paced, and even in the first episode, the humor is character-driven. It's as uncomplicated, and tasty, as a good grilled cheese." [39]

Lea Palmieri of Decider wrote, "Young & Hungry works because it openly admits, life is complicated and we do silly things and get ourselves into sticky situations, because we're all just trying to figure it out—so why not have some fun in the process? The show is not afraid to take on substantial topics while keeping it light. Kind of like a TV cream puff. If you feel a twinge of nostalgia for the family sitcoms of the past, but acknowledge that you're growing up, no matter how reluctantly that may be, give Young & Hungry a try. The show is funny and it's bold and it's paving the way for more shows that we'll look back on fondly from the next decade." [40] Mary McNamara of Los Angeles Times stated, "Mixed would be Young & Hungry, a more than occasionally funny show in which Gabi (Emily Osment), an appealing but financially challenged food blogger, becomes personal chef to Josh (Jonathan Sadowski), an appealing but romantically challenged tech-ionaire. Executive produced by Ashley Tisdale, Young & Hungry feels much more Disney Channel than ABC Family. And that's not just because Osment is late of Hannah Montana. Osment is an accomplished physical and verbal comedian who is always fun to watch." [41]
