Reception 
The series received generally positive reviews. Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter commented "Like its heroine, Gordita Chronicles shows the potential to grow into something special — and also like its heroine, it’s sweet enough to earn our patience while finding its way there." Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times called it the "sitcom of the summer", writing "“Gordita Chronicles” is as charming as it is often obvious; indeed, one might say its obviousness is part of its charm. This is family comedy of a classic sort— with a few significant differences — funny and appealing and sometimes moving." Variety called it charming but criticized its at times unclear tone.
