The first season received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 42%, based on reviews from 26 critics, with an average rating of 5.12/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Dull and pointless, Flaked makes it uncomfortably clear that the man-child persona is no longer compelling."[11] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 43 out of 100, based on reviews from 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[12]

The show was criticized by Vox for "stupid plot twists" and devolving into melodrama.[13]
