Kevin McDonough of the Times Herald-Record called the show the "latest quirky variation on Project Runway " and said, "The 'makers' look like they escaped from a Tim Burton movie about an interstellar Renaissance faire, by way of an exploding craft store. Win or lose, they're something to behold."[ 6]
