Reception
In a mixed review, Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times said, "Too long by half, awkward and obvious but not unlikable, the series is a cocktail mixed from stock characters and situations and whatever could be found in the folks' liquor cabinet the weekend they were away. You are free to interpret its allusiveness as intentional homage or as copying off one's neighbor's work. And of course, there is a portion of the hoped-for audience that will not be familiar with the many things that this is like, and a portion that will greet its familiar elements like old beloved friends." In another mixed review, Decider's Lea Palmieri recommended that viewers "skip" the series saying, "It might be hard to place yourself back in a time where the summer before you head off to college was the biggest hurdle in the world, and while it's not a frivolous concern for many, it's not quite enough of a hook to draw you in or make you care about the stakes at play, considering, you know, all the other stuff going on in 2018. In that sense, it is a fun escape viewing that doesn't really run the risk of making you feel overly emotionally attached to anyone or anything taking place."
