Reception
Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of 'A'.[8] In Screen RantШаблон:'s 2020 overview of the show's ball challenges, Anja Grčar opined: "Season 7's Ball Challenge is not a fan-favorite for several reasons. Firstly, the queens only had to make two outfits rather than the usual three... Additionally, the girls didn't seem to produce any outfits that would make it to the best in the history of the show. Many fans thought that the first look was just a joke rather than an actual look. Since season 7 was hyped as one of the most fashionable so far, 'Hello, Kitty Girls!' was a huge let down."[9] In the website's 2021 list of ten Drag Race contestants "who could win" Project Runway, Amii Johnson said Violet Chachki delivered "one of the best ball challenge outfits" on Drag Race.[10] In 2023, Bernardo Sim of Pride.com selected the performance of "Roar" to represent season 7 in an overview of the show's best lip-syncs from each season.[11]
