Some of the media reaction to Stronach's candidacy was criticized. Casting Stronach as an "heiress" with a "coddled career" — to the point of joking comparisons to Paris Hilton — and the attention paid to her physical appearance and personal life, was described by a commentator as patronizing and sexist. Supporters touted her youth and style, corporate experience, private life as a "soccer mom", and her potential to win new and swing voters, especially moderate, socially progressive voters in the province of Ontario. On February 11, 2004, she declined to participate in a debate between the Conservative party candidates, leaving Tony Clement and Stephen Harper to debate each other on a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcast.

The single was panned by critics. Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt proclaimed that the single demonstrated that "the Exile in Guyville Liz Phair we once knew and loved has officially left the building," while Jody Rosen at Rolling Stone awarded the single one out of five stars and stated: "As tabla-laden electro tinkles behind her, Phair tells a tale of music-biz misadventure, 'rapping' in a voice that sounds like a soccer mom impersonating Ke$ha," concluding that the song was "an insult to rappers everywhere, even the terrible ones." The Village Voice ranked "Bollywood" at #14 on their list of the 20 worst songs of 2010, calling her rapping "sub-Madonna at best". Some critics defended Phair, however, arguing that the song is one of her most honest songs.

Mary McNamara, the Los Angeles Times television critic, called the show's two-hour pilot "high-aspiring but poorly executed"; according to McNamara: > Working from the original Dutch series Penoza, Red Widow is plagued by > sanctimony. It wants to have it all: a sympathetic soccer mom heroine > suddenly willing and able to do business with murderous thugs....It's easy > to see the sort of show [creator Melissa] Rosenberg envisioned, one in which > a "normal" woman finds herself juggling the mundane tasks of motherhood with > the high-octane exploits required to keep one step in front of a drug lord. > But the show is too busy hedging its bets—hey, he was just running pot, not > the hard stuff, and she feels sort of guilty about dragging him into it—that > it undercuts its own potential power.

Despite allowing the overall album a seemingly positive score of three out of five, critic Eric Henderson found the shift to more contemporary material unconvincing, noting that "If Chaka Khan was every woman, Dion is and ever shall be every awkward soccer mom. Only now, she's taken her CD-R of Celtic pop tunes out of the SUV stereo and is bumping a mix of midtempo neo-power ballads from the likes of Kesha and Katy Perry instead. Typical of mothers struggling to fit in with the next generation, the chief intention of Loved Me Back to Life is to pass for contemporary". On a positive note, Henderson opined that the album works when Dion sticks to her established signature style: "Dion's cover of Janis Ian's rueful "At Seventeen" comes off less like a lament for childhood dreams that didn't come to pass and more like a lilting word of advice from someone old enough to know better, which is precisely the zone where the album excels: when Dion drops the act and embraces her manic, Hallmark card-brandishing guru of schmaltz".

The same rating was given by Joly Herman for Common Sense Media, who found the film to be "pretty light fare" and "some of the plot twists [...] a little predictable" but liked Pyle's and Osment's performances as well as the focus on girls' sports and opined that "moms and daughters will enjoy watching it together". On DVD Verdict, Erich Asperschlager was critical of how Pyle looked in man makeup, but wrote that "once you get past the premise and the makeup, Soccer Mom is a middle-of-the-road kids flick with a good message about family—even if it's the same message found in plenty of better movies", going to praise Pyle, Osment, Cortese as well as Cassie Scerbo and concluding that the film "succeeds more than it fails, and ultimately fares better than a lot of its family movie competition". Home Theater Info, finally, only awarded the film 4 out of 10 stars, but remained mostly positive, concluding that "this is fun on a juvenile level but just perfect for that rainy Saturday afternoon when the kids are stuck in the house".
