Catriona Wightman of Digital Spy described the show as not particularly enjoyable and having little depth, writing that "it all feels like a home movie" which "doesn't necessarily make for compelling television".[4] Rhik Samadder of The Guardian called it "duller than the back of a scuffed spoon", arguing that the "sight of vague celebrities going on holiday does not make great television".[5]
