Alex Reif of LaughingPlace.com said, "The inventions and gadgets Eureka creates range from practical ones in the real world to fantastical ones designed to enchant viewers. Embedded within these stories is some practical science, such as Eureka designing a lift and pulley system to free Murphy when he's stuck. There's also some fun educational opportunities for children watching with a parent over things like a sun dial being used to tell time in Eureka's outdoor classroom. Whether through her actions or the songs she sings, Eureka teaches kids to think outside the box to find solutions to problems. In addition to dinosaurs and fun prehistoric animals, Eureka's world is full of friends that add social lessons for kids through entertaining and engaging stories."{{Cite web |last=Reif |first=Alex |date=June 15, 2022 |title=TV Review: Disney Junior's "Eureka!"
