Cooking with Paris received mostly negative reviews from critics. On thereview aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 29% based on 21 reviews, with the consensus, "Cooking with Paris has the potential to delight, but by stranding Hilton's persona so deep in her past it feels like a missed opportunity for her to begin something new."[6]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 34 out of 100 based on 10 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[7] The series ranked at number one (tied withAlter Ego) on Metacritic's Worst TV Shows of 2021 list.[8]
Jordan Julian ofThe Daily Beast stated that the show is "an over-produced miss. [...] She seems to be trying to channel her clueless, perpetually boredSimple Life persona, but now that we know that that was just a character, it feels forced."[9] Writing forVariety, Daniel D'Addario said: "The problem, for Hilton, is thatCooking With Paris is a disaster — an utterly unappealing sit that many viewers will tune out before the first episode has ended."[10] Lucy Mangan ofThe Guardian felt that it "all gets odder as it goes on. It's not (just) that Hilton has only four phrases at her disposal ('So good', 'So bomb', 'Insane', 'So cute'), but that she is such a deadening presence."[11]
Despite the critical response,Cooking with Paris briefly entered Netflix's Top 10 rankings in a number of territories,[1][12] and earned Hilton the Best Reality Return at the 2022MTV Movie and TV Awards.[13]
