Reviews "Happy Go Lucky" received positive reviews. Price Peterson of
TV.com gave a glowing review, writing that " 'Happy Go Lucky' also featured some truly touching moments, in particular Veronica and Wallace's heartfelt conversation about how much they'd miss each other next year. […] One of this show's biggest recurring themes was that no good deed went unpunished, so it was nice to see Veronica get at least a shred of credit for all the awesome things she'd done. Great moment in a great episode." Rowan Kaiser, writing for
The A.V. Club, gave a very positive review, writing that it was "serialization done right" and praising the characterization of Veronica. "But their character assassination of Veronica is more impressive, because it strikes at one of the show's core struggles: Veronica is special. Perhaps
too special. As the audience of the show that bears her name, we understand her specialness. […] But there are times when Veronica is brought back to reality, reminded that the rest of her world doesn't see her as special." == References ==
