Reception
Writer Brian Michael Bendis has mentioned the popularity she has between other writers and the unanimous decision to have her as the role of the nanny in "New Avengers". After announcing the character's role at the 2010 Comic-con panel, Bendis described the audience's reaction citing "... was so loud, the applause went on for so long... the place went nuts for a while". He went on to describe the applause as comparable to Stan Lee walking into the room.
Co-creator Will Murray has shown interest in returning to the character citing "...I’ve been thinking of pitching Marvel a Squirrel Girl project. She’s defeated most of the major Marvel super villains. It’s time she met her match in The Ultimate Pistachio". Marvel's previous editor in chief Joe Quesada has also shown the same interest jokingly saying "I've always wanted to do a Squirrel Girl miniseries or a Squirrel Girl event – "Squirrel Girl Destroys Your Nuts!" I haven't been able to sell it in yet, but I keep on trying".
UGO Networks listed Squirrel Girl as one their "Woman We're Ashamed to Be Attracted To" and put Squirrel Girl as one the more questionable D-list superheroes that they still loved anyway. GameZone's Ben PerLee has cited that Squirrel Girl was one of the characters he'd want to see in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as downloadable content.
IGN has shown a positive reaction to her appearance in the more mainstream "New Avengers" comic citing "...issue goes a long way towards painting her as a more fleshed out human being with real desires. Bendis hasn't quite found a truly unique voice for her yet, but regardless, it's nice to see her offering something more than comic relief."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
