Heather Marulli of the website Television Without Pity, called the series "a mini-masterpiece of the animated genre; an opus to the primetime cartoon"
David Bianculli of the New York Daily News, wrote that "(Clone High) in a year of variations and ripoffs of established themes and genres, it's a true original. It's also a cartoon, and is truly, outrageously bizarre", and that, '"Clone High" is the highest of high concepts'.
David Broermann from the website Freakin' Awesome Network gave the series an "A+", saying it has "some really really good character development and depth" and an "amazing soundtrack".
It currently has an 8.7 rating on TV.com, an 8.9 rating on IMDb and is listed as #5 on IGN's Reader Choice: Top Animated Series.

—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
