the broadcast of "sister wives" came at a time that polygamy and multiple marriages were a prevalent topic in american pop culture. "big love", the hit hbo series about fictional utah polygamist bill henrickson, his three sister wives, and their struggle to gain acceptance in society, had already been on the air for several years. in early september 2010, the drama series "lone star", about a con man on the verge of entering into multiple marriages, premiered on fox but was quickly canceled after two episodes, and when "sister wives" debuted, actress katherine heigl was in the process of developing a film about carolyn jessop, a woman who fled from a polygamist sect.

"sister wives" drew national media attention after its first season and garnered generally mixed reviews from critics. "washington post" staff writer hank stuever called it "refreshingly frank" and found most interesting the small details of the family's everyday life, such as the food supply, division of labor, and minor arguments. "los angeles times" television critic mary mcnamara said she was intrigued by the matriarchal nature of the polygamist family, a unit that is traditionally considered patriarchal. mcnamara said the wives form the center of the family and that "their bonds appear far stronger and more vital than the casual fondness with which they all treat kody". salon.com writer schuyler velasco praised "sister wives" for introducing viewers to unfamiliar subject matter and called it "refreshingly modest" considering its controversial subject matter. velasco said it has "a natural, honest presence in a genre fabled for the camera-hogging antics of "jersey shore"". shelley fralic of "the vancouver sun" called it fascinating and surprising and was impressed with the sensible and articulate way in which the family defended their lifestyle. when the brown family made an october 2010 appearance on "the oprah winfrey show", talk show host oprah winfrey said she found particularly fascinating the relationship between the sister wives.
