Entertainment Weekly's Whitney Pastorek wrote that the series "is so brilliant and awesome that its glories can really only be diminished by additional words."[2]
Madeleine Löwenborg-Frick, a spokesperson for IKEA's Canadian branch, said of the series, "Absolutely, we think it's funny. We see the humour in it and we approach our own marketing with a similar tongue-in-cheek humour. But unauthorized filming in our stores isn't a good thing. There's proper channels that people who want to film in our stores can go through."[3]
