Reception
Critical reception
Joel Keller of Decider wrote, "Dicktown is not only funny, it tells a pretty good story of two guys who should have grown up a long time ago but for one reason or another they just haven’t. But, bless them, they keep trying."[5] Steve Greene of IndieWire asserted, "Amid the bevy of recurring animated series that make up some of the most memorable Cake filling, Dicktown may well be the richest. John Hodgman and David Rees’ sharp spin on a boy detective all grown up and living in his North Carolina hometown is effortlessly entertaining."[6]
