Reception

The premiere episode had an estimated 2.1 million viewers.[10] The second episode drew 2.9 million viewers, giving a large increase in audience.[11]

After a few episodes, Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show 2 stars,[12] saying that Every Witch Way "devotes too much time and energy to Maddie's superficiality and spite to be considered a likable choice for this impressionable age group. And since none of Maddie's actions ever land her in hot water she can't work a spell to escape, kids never see her learn a lesson." She also notes it "suffers from some subpar acting and a low-budget look and feel, and the absence of even a laugh track", leaving it "unusually flat for a tween sitcom. And without the bells and whistles kids tend to like in their entertainment, there's nothing to distract them from the excessive superficiality and pettiness that plague many of the central characters". The season one finale on January 30, 2014 had 2.6 million viewers,[13] while the first season had a total average of 2.166 million viewers. It was also the most viewed by kids between 4 and 11 years old.[14]
