Reception The series was nominated for a British Academy Scotland Awards (BAFTA) Award in the category of Factual Series.
Lucy Mangan of The Guardian rated the series four stars out of five, saying that despite very rarely laughing out loud at television, she "belly-laughed throughout". Mangan praised Boyle as a "good guide, sufficiently engaged and detached at the same time". In another four star review, The Heralds Alison Rowat reviewed the first episode positively, calling Boyle "a pugnacious sort but a surprisingly good interviewer".
