TechnicallyIDoComics of The Top Tens ranked ''Wild C.A.T.s'' at No. 5 on his list of the Top Ten Worst Comic Book Animated TV Shows, commenting that "Choppy animation, sloppy voice-directing, and -- most importantly -- the most careless writing of any superhero cartoon I've ever witnessed as far as plot progression, character development, and dialogue are all concerned.
