Reception of the show by the general public was negative, with aChange.org petition to cancel the show attracting 1,400 signatures.[3]
Critics were mostly negative. Stephanie McNeal wrote forBuzzFeed News that the show managed to "somehow make being young, rich, and famous in Los Angeles seem horribly depressing." She also wrote that the stars, despite their popularity, were ultimately very boring and unmemorable to watch (with the exception ofLarray andNikita Dragun) and the show itself was "certainly an interesting insight into the machinations of content houses and the struggles that come with them, but it is not a very fun or interesting show."[4]
Allyson Weissman, writing for thestudent newspaperThe Daily Bruin, gave it 2 out of 5 stars, calling the series "uneventful and lifeless".[5]
Madeline Roth ofThe Daily Beast in a negative review called the show "mind-numbing" and that Larray and Nikita Dragun were "the two saving graces ofHype House".[6]
