Reviewing the pilot episode, Joel Keller of Decider wrote, "With some interesting lead performances, and a plot that goes beyond the standard teen coming-of-age stuff, Absolute Beginners sets up an intriguing story about teens who either aren’t sure about what they want or are sure but have trouble expressing it."[6]
