As of the May 31, 2007, the show had a composite score of 45% based on 22 reviews at Metacritic [6]. Linda Stasi of the ''New York Post'' called it "the best rich kid show to appear on TV since that other California show died."[7] Diane Werts of ''Newsday'' said the show "is enough to make me forgive The CW's entire sorry first season".[8]

[9] Charlie McCollum of the ''San Jose Mercury News'' said the show "spends far too much time exploring the whiny angst of the teens".[10] Tom Shales of ''The Washington Post'' said of the show, "you're likely to find more fascinating figures and intriguing dramatis personae in the latest catalogue from J. Peterman."[11]
The show has also come under fire from the Parents Television Council, which called the pilot episode "cliché-ridden" and claimed the overall plot was inappropriate for its teenage target audience because of its depiction of underage drinking, parental suicide and sex, the pilot[12] and finale episodes[13] being named the most offensive television programming of the weeks of their respective broadcasts on the CW network.
