In its review, News18 gave 'Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives' 2.5 out of 5 stars. Calling the "Mumbai-Delhi privilege war" a "test of patience", the review added, "As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth...The entire season feels like a rough draft of actual show." "The only factor even remotely interesting is Shalini Passi's vague, confident demeanour," it added.
