After being panned by critics since 1991 with "Jugate", Morena finally received praise. Clarin, in their first positive nod of one of her productions, rated the show as "very good" and noted that "Cris Morena declared is true: Floricienta is not much better than all her other children and teen-oriented sagas that were previously on (Chiquititas, Verano del '98, Rebelde Way, Rincón de Luz). However, being only a tiny bit better, it conquered not only the public but also the very mischievous public opinion (and while both may look the same, they're definitely not)". The critic praised the actors, especially Florencia Bertotti, the editing, the story, the scripts and the pace of the show. It is important to note, however, that Clarin and Canal 13, which originally aired Floricienta, are owned by the same parent company. "La Nación", which has always been more positive when it comes to Cris' shows, also rated the show as "very good" praising the production, the cast and Florencia Bertotti's charisma and comedy timing.
