Good Vibes received mixed reviews from critics. San Francisco Chronicle's David Wiegand found its writing to be "juvenile, hormonal and often pretty dang funny", while Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Rob Owen branded it "aggressively dumb, sex-obsessed and occasionally misogynistic". Emily VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club criticized the pilot, praised later episodes and expressed optimism towards the series' future, mentioning that "this isn't a recommendation exactly—there are still a few too many problems with the surface level of the show—but the undercarriage is sound, and it wouldn't be surprising if this developed into a surprisingly sweet and winning little show given enough time". On Metacritic the show achieved a score of 58 based on reviews from 9 critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 70%, with an average rating of 6.15/10. It was cancelled by MTV on February 24, 2012, due to low ratings. ==References==
