Critical reception In an interview with the Futon Critic, Brown notes that what viewers will see is what they really do in real life everyday: "I have a job and my husband has a job so they were just following us around. It's not like we had to make anything up or we had to act. It was actually quite easy, to be honest. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It was just a very natural thing to do.""INTERVIEW: "MEL B: IT'S A SCARY WORLD" STAR MEL B" from The Futon Critic (September 3, 2010)
However, Media Life television critic Tom Conroy had a different take on the show: "Anyone who watches "Mel B: It's a Scary World" will wish Mel the best of luck in her quest to add something memorable to her résumé, but this show isn't it.""'Mel B: It's a Scary World,' tedious, too" from Media Life (September 1, 2010)
