ReceptionIn a mixed review, Common Sense Media's Elka Karl wrote, "While this competitive reality show is a bit rough around the edges, Project Accessory is worth a look, especially for teens who are interested in jewelry making, sewing, or other creative, crafty endeavors. Fans of Project Runway will likely tune in, and while the show benefits from the relationship with the original program, it also suffers from the inevitable comparisons. Neither Molly Sims or mentor Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti are anywhere near as charismatic or helpful as Heidi Klum or Tim Gunn. Luckily, the designers are engaging and represent an eclectic mix of styles."[6] In a negative review, Brandon Nowalk of The A.V. Club stated, "As television, this is some pretty uninspiring stuff, the point of which, apparently, is to see how far a successful model can take an entirely different show."[7] References
