Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly gave the show a C+ rating, saying, "Tons o’ teens are tuning in to Pauly Shore, who, in the guise of a roving VJ, interrupts MTV's ceaseless flow of Skid Row and Van Halen videos to stroll through malls and converse in a modified San Fernando Valley-speak."{{cite magazine|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|url=https://ew.com/article/1991/08/02/totally-pauly/|authorlink=Ken Tucker|author=Tucker, Ken|date=August 2, 1991|title=Totally Pauly}}
