jillian bowe of zap2it was surprised by the decision to age both summer and fenmore at the same time.

"tv source magazine" said, "don’t they grow up fast?", referring to the genre's knack for aging young character's very quickly. dan j. kroll of the website "soap central" commented, "two more genoa city residents growing up too fast." the series had just rapidly aged kyle abbott and ricky williams. michael fairman said aging the characters would help to "beef up" the show's summer storylines. bushman's acting coach took to twitter to congratulate the actress on booking the role. when bushman was let go from the soap opera, jamey giddens, also of zap2it, said: "another blonde actress who plays a member of the young and the restless' fictional newman clan has been let go", in reference to marcy rylan's recent firing from the role of abby newman. giddens also recommended another "hollywood heights" actress, brittany underwood, for the role. the news of king's casting did not come as a surprise due to phelps and griffith's ties to "hollywood heights" and previous casting decisions. zap2it referred to bushman's portrayal of summer as "annoying" following the announcement of her departure.
