Reception
Robinson has received praise for her impersonations, with Georgina Littlejohn of The Sun describing them as "wickedly accurate," and the Daily Mail's Chirstopher Stevens writing that Robinson is "an outstanding impressionist." Stevens also gave the show four stars out of five, saying it is Robinson's "best show yet," but was critical of the amount of coverage given to the Natalie Cassidy scenes, writing: "the problem wasn’t a shortage of ideas or characters — more likely that she simply can’t get enough of doing Natalie." Lucy Mangan of The Guardian says the programme "is just what we need in this strife-strewn year." In comparing it to Rory Bremner's political satire which he describes as "sharp", Mat Baylis of The Express describes the show as "sharp, too, but in a less appealing way."The Telegraph rated it three stars out of five.
