Critical Reception
- "Maybe it's the never-ending drama surrounding her cast mates that has Whitney Port, the least dramatic (and most likable) of the bunch, running from The Hills to The City. Or maybe it's that hot Aussie Jay? Even after she moves, we suspect the drama will never be too far away, especially with a camera crew and plenty of male models running around."TV Guide: Tonight's TV Hot List (December 10, 2008)
