Reception
An uncredited review in the Province stated that "This type of family drama is as quaint and rare now as a log cabin, but children will enjoy the miniseries a lot and parents will like watching it with them." Allesandra Stanley of the New York Times thought that the miniseries was more faithful to Wilder's books than was the 1970s and 1980s TV series.
