She added that Ladhoods "kind of northern teenage reminiscence is catnip", and that while "occasional moments are a little heavy on the archness", Ladhood has "intelligent, incisive humour that makes acute observations then takes them to the next level", and stated her interest in a second series. Hydall Codeen of Vice stated that Ladhood is "a topography of raw adolescent experience that will not just resonate with anyone who grew up in a small British town, but shed light on why they feel the way they do today". Bruce Dessau of Beyond the Joke commented that Ladhood displays "a type of laddish behaviour that has never gone away, but Williams puts his own deft spin on it". He added that "the dialogue is not always entirely convincing, but it is funny, with the references to Eminem, Natasha Bedingfield and shell suits striking a comedic nostalgic chord". Upon Ladhood being renewed for a second series, Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning, commented: "Ladhood has a terrific concept which audiences have found really engaging. Liam's deft writing manages to both excoriate and celebrate the trials and tribulations of those formative late teen years as he traces back the roots of the person he then became in adulthood. With a superb cast and a soundtrack to boot, this keeps the BBC Three comedy flame burning brighter than ever." Fiona Campbell, Controller of BBC Three, added: "Ladhood is a brilliant series for BBC Three as it manages to perfectly blend nostalgia with the present day. With so many themes and stories that our audience recognises, and a strong sense of place and accents to boot, we can't wait for more."
