Reception
Blasting News described the series as resembling "a lot of other adult cartoons like Archer and Rick and Morty, where the events are so insane that you can't help but love them [which] deliver[s] a surprising amount of heartfelt moments", serving as "an enjoyable experience from start to finish [and providing] plenty of laughs and some charm". Bubbleblabber called the series "a combination between South Park and Gravity Falls [and] of Rooster Teeth's top shows, due to overarching plot lines [and] a history of throwing some emotionally investing episodes into its usually lighthearted series".
