Joel Keller of Decider asserted, "Kathryn Hahn makes Tiny Beautiful Things a compelling watch, mainly because she’s so good at playing someone barely holding things together. But the rest of the series, especially the flashback sequences, give us a pretty full picture of why her character continues to spiral."[13] Taylor Gates of Collider, gave the series a grade of A-, praised the performance of Kathryn Hahn, and complimented the humor of the series, writing, "Tiny Beautiful Things uses specificity to offer commentary on universal experiences and has the unique ability to strip the most complex topics down into their simplest, most resonant parts. And so for that, I have to say: Thank you."[14]
