Reception The Times stated, "Bradley Walsh and his son took a good-natured road trip to the US, but it all seemed like an excuse to get Walsh Jr some TV exposure."
The series achieved average viewing figures of 5 million an episode, making it Britain's highest rating celebrity travelogue in nearly 10 years.
A critical Radio Times review said that the show had "a distinct feel of scripted banter" and that Bradley Walsh was in "his least-convincing role to date".
