Reception

Carole & Tuesday has been critically acclaimed for its story, animation, music and songs, characters, voice acting, art, setting, and themes.

James Beckett of Anime News Network commended the show, giving it an A overall, citing "genuinely delightful" music, a "colorful, well-realized world", and stated that the English dub "serves the anime even better than its original Japanese track".

In her review of the show for Syfy, Laura Dale criticized the LGBTQ representation in the show, arguing that the show often uses "minority characters as punchlines and stereotypes for plot progression" and stating that while the show has "really sweet, soft queer energy," she remained disappointed that the show had "repeated harmful representations of queer characters."
