Reception
Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune rated the series 3 out of 4 stars and called it "fascinating," writing, "No matter the personal style - austere, expensive minimalism or over-the-top everything - all of it is ostentatious and fascinating and says so much about how the 1% spend their wealth. This is the primary appeal of 'Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis.'"[1] Rachel Shatto of The Advocate called the series "a welcome return to form" for Lewis, adding that it "functions more like a sequel to Bravo's Flipping Out than a reboot."[5]
