The show has received a negative review by Sylvia Balac from Aftonbladet, calling the show "nonsense" and ending with "Come on SVT! You should be able to do better than this."[6] Karolina Fjellborg, also from Aftonbladet, gave a slightly more positive review saying that she has "seen worse", but still criticising that it is "another show based on nonsense and air only".[7] Malin Slotte from Hufvudstadsbladet gave also a negative review saying that "SVT have unbuttoned their pants, laid down on the couch, and greatly lowered their ambition".[8]
