Lucy Mangan, writing for The Guardian, described the show as a "lesser version" of Channel 4's Coppers.[4] Also writing for The Guardian, Phelim O'Neill said that "plain-speaking Humberside custody officers provide the commentary on the never-ending tide of all human life that passes through their care".[5]
