facing down the supernatural with a snark and a smile" as Cordelia Chase. Television Without Pity's Demain, however, had a more mixed response to Kyra. Although he enjoyed that Charmed hired an actor from a Joss Whedon show, he felt Carpenter was not given enough material and criticized her for playing the character too similar to Cordelia. Parodying Kyra's lack of a concrete identity, Demain referenced Kyra as "Charisma, "Cordelia", and "Cordelia Lite" in his episode recaps. Kyra was also praised in retrospective reviews. SpoilerTV's Gavin Hetherington said Kyra was one of the season's high points, and felt the character could have been used more. Screen Rants Amanda Bruce described her as "a fun addition to the show" and praised Carpenter's performance. Describing Kyra as the more memorable version of the two Seers, Hypable's Karen Rought praised the show for casting Carpenter; she wrote "how fitting is it that [Carpenter] landed this role after Cordelia Chase also had precognitive abilities". Movie Pilot's John Collins cited Carpenter as one of his favorite guest stars on Charmed. In 2015, Pat Shand criticized the decision to kill Kyra and introduce the novice witch Billie Jenkins (Kaley Cuoco) in season eight. He described Kyra as a better alternative to Billie as a potential "fourth main character" or "non-Charmed One getting all that screen time" during the final season. In a Tumblr interview Shand wished that Kyra had received a spin-off with Cole Turner and Darryl Morris.
