Club](/source/The_A.V._Club)'' wrote: "In these very early episodes, Lorelai and Rory’s relationship has a volatility that doesn’t really stick around." He explained that the fight between Lorelai and Rory over something minor was "a little forced and on the nose." "The show is still finding its voice, and its tone feels a touch off at times, although it’s also establishing so much of what we know and love about the Stars Hollow universe. [...] Lorelai’s stuff [at the Inn] is pleasant, but a bit of a snooze. Rory’s plot is more intriguing."{{cite web|last1=Sims|first1=David|title=Gilmore Girls: "Pilot"/"The Lorelais' First Day At Chilton"|url=https://www.avclub.com/gilmore-girls-pilot-the-lorelais-first-day-at-chil-1798176063|website=[The A.V.
