Critical response ( edit ) David Hinckley of the New York Daily News gave the series 4 out of 5 stars , saying `` add forbidden love , which can never escape the shadow of potential doom , and Star - Crossed could become both provocative and entertaining . '' Diana Werts of Newsday gave the series 3 out of 4 stars , saying `` Plenty of potential , if Star - Crossed stops talking down to us '' . Carrie Raisler of The A.V. Club gave the series a positive review . Jeanne Jakle of the San Antonio Express - News gave a positive review , particularly of Aimee Teegarden 's performance , saying `` Just as she was so heartbreakingly natural as young Julie Taylor , she also comes across refreshingly unpretentious in Star - Crossed -- which , actually , may be the best reason of all to watch the CW drama . '' Gail Pennington of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave the series 2 of 4 stars signaling mixed reviews , saying `` Star - Crossed does n't aim as high as those , Lanter does get a few witty lines ( '' One of my hearts stopped beating for a few minutes . Luckily I had a backup ) '' but the tone is mostly dreary and the plot with few exceptions goes precisely where you expect . Only if the romance proves genuinely heart - stopping to young fans ( maybe , the same ones who have embraced Reign ) will this one be a hit . '' Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times gave the series an mixed review , saying `` It 's the usual dance of insiders and outsiders , mean kids and weirdos , of Sharks and Jets , Montagues and Capulets biting their thumbs at one another in the school corridor while one special guy and girl fall in love . There are the good ones and the bad ones , and the bad good ones , and the good bad ones . Adults , as always in these things , are no help at all . '' David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle giving it a negative review , saying `` The title is Star - Crossed because it 's about an alien boy who falls in love with a human girl , a repurposed ' Romeo and Juliet ' , without the poetry . Or drama . Or credibility . '' Robert Bianco , of USA Today , saying `` As vapid as it is unoriginal , Star - Crossed is sadly typical of a network that continually underestimates its audience . Teenagers may not be smarter than they were when the WB was at its peak , but it 's unlikely they 're dumber . So why does CW treat them as if they are ? '' Matt Roush of TV Guide gave a negative review , saying `` Star - Crossed lacks humor , suspense or even heat .

Club gave the series a positive review . Jeanne Jakle of the San Antonio Express - News gave a positive review , particularly of Aimee Teegarden 's performance , saying `` Just as she was so heartbreakingly natural as young Julie Taylor , she also comes across refreshingly unpretentious in Star - Crossed -- which , actually , may be the best reason of all to watch the CW drama . '' Gail Pennington of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave the series 2 of 4 stars signaling mixed reviews , saying `` Star - Crossed does n't aim as high as those , Lanter does get a few witty lines ( '' One of my hearts stopped beating for a few minutes . Luckily I had a backup ) '' but the tone is mostly dreary and the plot with few exceptions goes precisely where you expect . Only if the romance proves genuinely heart - stopping to young fans ( maybe , the same ones who have embraced Reign ) will this one be a hit . '' Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times gave the series an mixed review , saying `` It 's the usual dance of insiders and outsiders , mean kids and weirdos , of Sharks and Jets , Montagues and Capulets biting their thumbs at one another in the school corridor while one special guy and girl fall in love . There are the good ones and the bad ones , and the bad good ones , and the good bad ones . Adults , as always in these things , are no help at all . '' David Wiegand of the San Francisco Chronicle giving it a negative review , saying `` The title is Star - Crossed because it 's about an alien boy who falls in love with a human girl , a repurposed ' Romeo and Juliet ' , without the poetry . Or drama . Or credibility . '' Robert Bianco , of USA Today , saying `` As vapid as it is unoriginal , Star - Crossed is sadly typical of a network that continually underestimates its audience . Teenagers may not be smarter than they were when the WB was at its peak , but it 's unlikely they 're dumber . So why does CW treat them as if they are ? '' Matt Roush of TV Guide gave a negative review , saying `` Star - Crossed lacks humor , suspense or even heat .
