Critical reception
Today wrote, "Dupree has plenty of fans, but she's also had to contend with her fair share of critics, including some who claim that she doesn't really have Tourette syndrome or that she fakes her tics. It's a topic she addressed in the second episode of Baylen Out Loud, saying: 'People have said that I'm faking Tourette for attention. Why would I do that? Would you want to live like this?'"[7]
Yahoo wrote, "Fans of Baylen are already familiar with the often-humorous outbursts caused by her tics, and Baylen Out Loud will give a more detailed view of what she and her family deal with as she handles living with Tourette syndrome."[13]
Collider wrote, "The moment I saw the TLC series premiere, I could tell Baylen Out Loud was unlike any other show I've watched, reality or otherwise."[14]
