"buddytv"'s senior writer john kubieck was shocked by lilith's debut in "jus in bello", specifically by the revelation that she appears as a little girl. tina charles of "tv guide" opined that the decision to portray lilith as a child played to the show's strength of "creating kids that are freakin' scary", but was surprised by the departure from the normal demonic eye color in lilith's white eyes, wondering at its implications for the character. overall, she deemed lilith's introduction one of the highlights of the episode. despite the change in actresses between rachel pattee and sierra mccormick from "jus in bello" to "no rest for the wicked", charles felt that "the results were still as creepy". sandrine sahakians, editor-in-chief for "tv equals", agreed, writing that, "the scene where she comes out with her dress all full of blood...was one of the freakiest scenes ever." in her review of "the monster at the end of the book", sahakians was very surprised by how frightened lilith seemed to be of her fate, musing that the character was "not as invincible as we once thought." she also found it "interesting" that, while lilith was immune to sam's powers, sam was immune to lilith's.

regarding lilith's depiction in "no rest for the wicked", don williams of "buddytv" deemed her "one extremely scary little girl". he wrote, "as sad as i was to see [ruby] taken over by lilith, it was yet another chilling demonstration of how powerful the new demon leader is. watching the little girl snap her grandpa's neck just for kicks was creepy enough, but seeing her take over ruby's body was truly frightening. it's one of the many disturbing moments in 'no rest for the wicked' that helps to make it so unforgettable", concluding that, "by the end of the episode, it's obvious that the winchesters have never faced any demon as powerful as adorable little lilith." karla peterson of the "san diego union-tribune" also remarked on lilith's possession of ruby's host, when she noted that katie cassidy did a "terrific job of acting like a completely different character is inside her body". likewise, diana steenbergen of "ign" found it "nice to see katie cassidy have a chance to act so differently", and believed that "lilith and her little girl mannerisms in ruby's body were far more chilling, and interesting, than ruby's tough chick persona ever has been". on mccormick's reprisal of her role as lilith in "yellow fever", steenbergen was similarly positive towards lilith's characterization, writing that, "lillith "[sic]" as a little girl in a cute pink dress being the embodiment of evil is still creepy." she felt that the revelation in "when the levee breaks" that lilith eats babies detracted from an otherwise well-written episode, as she believed that lilith's evil had already been so firmly established that adding in a scene implying the murder of infants was "pointless".
