While reviewing the first two episodes of the season, Jen Chaney from New York magazine's website Vulture.com praised Younger 's consistency and ability to maintain its entertainment. The writer commented, "Six seasons in, Younger remains a fizzy New York fantasy that’s light without sacrificing its intelligence, a pleasure that comes with no residual guilt whatsoever." Melanie McFarland from website Salon glorified the series' approach on ageism, writing, "There's a lot to appreciate about how accessible this series made its conversations about age discrimination in the workplace and society at large, and hopefully others will draw influence from its blend of intelligence and lightheartedness." In a positive review, Christopher James from Awards Circuit singled out the series' approach of women in positions of power and ageism. He also lauded Duff's performance as Kelsey and the character story lines, as well as Shor's portrayal of Diana. Conversely, the author criticized the devaluation of the characters of Josh, Maggie, and Lauren. Overall, he wrote, "When the show concentrates on being a workplace comedy about the challenges of being a female executive, Younger truly excels."
