It looks like critics couldn’t stop singing praises for the intriguing storyline and the compelling drama of the show. Salong Gajjar of “AV club” said, “Cruel Summer manages to overcome its convoluted storytelling because it finds interesting, grounded ways to explore the impact of society’s expectations of these young girls, and how their town and own families contribute to the pressure they face”. On the other hand, Linda Maleh of “TV Insider”, finds the storyline of the show unique and original, “In a television landscape full of franchise fare and reboots, it’s refreshing to watch such a unique original. It’s an ambitious premise, but the show seems to have a good handle on what it wants to accomplish”.
