## NME — Alex Flood

Rating 4/5. 6 March 2024.

## Collider — Abby Cavenaugh

Rating B-. 23 January 2023. 

Cavenaugh finds the series enjoyable, though its jokes are uneven and its self-acceptance message is heavy-handed. She especially praises Jizzlord’s endearing naïveté and the camaraderie among the main characters.
