Tricia Crimmins of ''[[Mashable]]'' reviewed the first five episodes of ''Love Is Blind'' following their initial release on February 13. Comparing it to ''[[The Bachelor (American TV series)|The Bachelor]]'', Crimmins called the series the bizarre [[Reality television|reality TV]] experiment you've been craving. She comments that you never know what the couples will do next, even down to the altar at the wedding, making the series "harmless, entertaining, and satisfying."<ref name="mashable review"/>
 
Lucy Mangan of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave ''Love Is Blind'' a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, calling it toxic, revolting, but extremely addictive. She says that ''Love Is Blind'' is the final nail in the coffin of humanity; however, in terms of reality television, she states that it is good because it "exploits emotional frailties, profaning the sacred, making the private and precious public and worthless and turning it into voyeuristic ratings-bait." Despite all of this, she recommends the show as a casual reality television binge, similar to ''[[The Bachelor (American TV series)|The Bachelor]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mangan |first1=Lucy |title=Love Is Blind review: toxic, revolting – and totally addictive |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/feb/13/love-is-blind-review-toxic-revolting-and-totally-addictive |website=theguardian.com |publisher=The Guardian |accessdate=February 29, 2020 |language=English |date=February 13, 2020 |url-status=live}}</ref>
