Critical reception

Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly graded the show F and commented, "The irritation turned to repulsion around the first minute ... Dina snipes about the paparazzi's invasion of privacy, but thanks to her, there's not much left to invade." Troy Patterson of Slate Magazine said, "The show is crisply edited and tangily ironic without pushing its points too hard .... Living Lohan is not just a symptom of cultural decay but an active agent of it, commodifying the very youth and soul of Ali Lohan�younger sister of poor little Lindsay ... Living Lohan' is one big exploitative mess." Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald graded the show D and said, "Living Lohan scrapes the bottom of the stupidity barrel." Brian Lowry of Magazine said, "It's a tedious exercise, joining E!'s Keeping Up with the Kardashians in the realm of mother-daughter bonding experiences, with limited appeal beyond, perhaps appropriately, those pesky tabloids for which the featured "talent" profess disdain ... The show at times provides unintended comedy, representing E!'s best hope of transforming Living Lohan into a guilty pleasure, if not for the reasons Dina (who doubles as a producer) would doubtless like." also "the most salient aspect of the series is that it's profoundly boring, wringing out sprinkles of drama as best it can."

In OK!, Michael Lohan commented, "If I were to look at things from a wordly perspective, I would probably have a lot to say about exploitation, hypocrisy and even deception � and maybe at a later date, I might just do so. For now, let's just say I'm still trying to figure out if this show is about managing Ali's career and being a "real" mother, or reading tabloids. I've had a sneak peek at some future episodes and I will say that some of the people Dina surrounds the kids with still concerns me � again, I can address that when they appear on the show. I just hope Dina takes the high road � like a Lohan would � and rights these wrongs. If this show is about the being a mother and a manager, the most important thing is to set a good example by instilling positive values, and doing what's right for the kid's sake. Not for our own! I wish Ali, Cody and Dina the best on the show and pray that they get what they want out of it.
