Critical Response
Lake's return to daytime television has been welcomed by critics, who see her as the possible successor to Oprah Winfrey, by whom Lake was inspired. Brian Lowry of "Variety" sees the possibility for this series be as successful as her first, saying that he "thinks she makes sense. I don’t know that there’s a big clamoring for another talk show, and one fronted by her, but the truth is that she’s done it."
Kevin Downey of TV NewsCheck also gave the show a positive review during an interview with Lake after having sat through a taping, noting that "This time, they (referring to the audience in the show) just seem to want Lake to know they’re happy she’s back."
