Daniel D'Addario of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' described the series as "a delight that poses the question of what it really means to grow up, against a truly inviting backdrop," and that Collins is "an inherently winsome performer who has never been quite as well used as she is here."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2020/tv/reviews/emily-in-paris-review-1234749374/|title='Emily in Paris' Merges French Light With American Gumption: TV Review|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|first=Daniel|last=D'Addario|date=September 30, 2020|accessdate=October 1, 2020}}</ref> Kristen Baldwin of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the series a "B" and wrote, "If you need a five-hour brain vacation, Paris is a worthwhile destination."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/tv-reviews/emily-in-paris-netflix-review/|title=''Emily in Paris'' is the very silly show we need right now: Review|website=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|first=Kristen|last=Baldwin|date=September 30, 2020|accessdate=October 2, 2020}}</ref> ''[[The New Zealand Herald]]'' considered the show "visually delectable" and that "Collins has a pixie-ish charm which makes her endearing", but also that the show is "as ephemeral as fairy floss."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=12370025|title=Emily in Paris review: 'Pure escapism' with much to like, but flaws too|date=October 2, 2020|accessdate=October 5, 2020|via=www.nzherald.co.nz}}</ref> However, Rebecca Nicholson of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the series one out of five stars, praising Collins for her "amiably breezy" performance, but warns viewers "the show is far better if you stop looking for rhyme or reason and just look at the scenery".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Nicholson|first=Rebecca|date=October 2, 2020|title=Emily in Paris review – an excruciating exorcism of French cliches|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/oct/02/emily-in-paris-review-an-excruciating-exorcism-of-french-cliches|access-date=October 3, 2020}}</ref>

Daniel D'Addario of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' described the series as "a delight that poses the question of what it really means to grow up, against a truly inviting backdrop," and that Collins is "an inherently winsome performer who has never been quite as well used as she is here."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2020/tv/reviews/emily-in-paris-review-1234749374/|title='Emily in Paris' Merges French Light With American Gumption: TV Review|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|first=Daniel|last=D'Addario|date=September 30, 2020|accessdate=October 1, 2020}}</ref> Kristen Baldwin of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the series a "B" and wrote, "If you need a five-hour brain vacation, Paris is a worthwhile destination."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ew.com/tv/tv-reviews/emily-in-paris-netflix-review/|title=''Emily in Paris'' is the very silly show we need right now: Review|website=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|first=Kristen|last=Baldwin|date=September 30, 2020|accessdate=October 2, 2020}}</ref> ''[[The New Zealand Herald]]'' considered the show "visually delectable" and that "Collins has a pixie-ish charm which makes her endearing", but also that the show is "as ephemeral as fairy floss."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=12370025|title=Emily in Paris review: 'Pure escapism' with much to like, but flaws too|date=October 2, 2020|accessdate=October 5, 2020|via=www.nzherald.co.nz}}</ref> However, Rebecca Nicholson of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the series one out of five stars, praising Collins for her "amiably breezy" performance, but warns viewers "the show is far better if you stop looking for rhyme or reason and just look at the scenery".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Nicholson|first=Rebecca|date=October 2, 2020|title=Emily in Paris review – an excruciating exorcism of French cliches|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/oct/02/emily-in-paris-review-an-excruciating-exorcism-of-french-cliches|access-date=October 3, 2020}}</ref>
