Critical Reception
The New York Times panned the program. The review reads: "CinderElmo has one quality that's glaringly unexpected in a production with the Children's Television Workshop imprimatur. It's condescending." Of French Stewart's acting: "It looks like an exercise from acting class." Additionally, "The colorful show does display a few flashes of wit. But you'll find the magic sold out."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
