Almost three weeks before its launch, the ''[[Hartford Courant]]'' was skeptical on whether the original ''Ready Set Learn!'' could succeed as "[[educational television]]", writing, "What children will learn first and foremost from this 'unprecedented' offering is how to watch TV, something they will master all too soon without TLC."<ref name=courant/> The block managed to premiere to positive press; [[Peggy Charren]] of [[Action for Children's Television]] approved of its commercial-free nature,<ref name=slpd/> while a reporter for the ''[[Northwest Florida Daily News]]'' said, "From what I've seen, they're doing a pretty good job [at making television a teacher]."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://proquest.com/docview/379447295|surname=Shoffer|title=The Learning Channel offers kids TLC|date=1993-01-29|accessdate=2024-09-12|work=[[Northwest Florida Daily News]]|page=8E|url-access=registration|via=[[ProQuest]]|archive-date=September 12, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240912060835/https://www.proquest.com/docview/379447295|url-status=live}}</ref> Lynne Heffley of ''[[The Los Angeles Times]]'' favorably reviewed the 2003 relaunch, citing ''[[Hi-5 (American TV series)|Hi-5]]'' (a U.S. remake of an [[Hi-5 (Australian TV series)|Australian format]]) and ''The Save-Ums!'' as the standouts. "All the new shows are colorful, watchable and scrupulously created with the principles of child development firmly in mind," she said. "Several feature characters who talk directly to viewers, in the tradition of the best children's programming."<ref name=la-times-2003/>
