American Gothic holds a current score of 51 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 23 "mixed or average" reviews.[7] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 58% critics rating based on 24 reviews. The website consensus reads: "American Gothic may not be striving for much, yet it holds promise as a soapy, campy family murder-mystery that's ultimately just engaging enough."[8]

Each episode of the series is named after a well-known American work of art, and features a visual reference to its namesake painting within the episode.[9]
