## Critical Reception

The game received mostly positive reviews even though some critics found it less attractive and more hard than the other The Little Ladies games due to lagging and low coin rewards. Moreover, according to Polygon, Olivia's actions in the video game looks like a passive campaign to rebuild the house, pressuring her family and friends into keeping the house. At the start of 2020, ads for The Little Ladies were referred to as misleading and not representative of the overall gameplay. The developers insisted the pictures showed minigames which appear sometimes within the game. Due to this, most of the players did not see it due to not buying the full version of the game. The German government banned some ads in October 2020 and warned Warner Bros. about the representatativity of further campaigns. The main gameplay of The Little Ladies is renovating which are shown more frequently than the minigames.
