In February 2021, Medrano told [[Insider Inc.|Insider]] that ''Helluva Boss'' remains independent of ''Hazbin Hotel'', stating she intends to keep it that way "as long as the audience wants to keep seeing it", adding that she has "a plan for where the story goes and ends". It also states that she has "carved out a niche for adult animation on the platform".<ref name="insider"/>  In 2023, scholar Ben Mitchell described the series as "sensationally popular" and an effective use of Patreon to subsidize the show's art "through monthly tiered payments".<ref>{{cite book|last=Mitchell|first=Ben|author-link=|date=2023|title=Independent Animation: Developing, Producing and Distributing Your Animated Films|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rNytEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT87|location=[[Boca Raton, Florida]]|publisher=[[CRC Press]]|page=87|isbn=9781000849189}}</ref> Zoe Dumas of [[MovieWeb]] described the series as a "wild success" with a "superb voice cast".<ref name="dumas2023">{{cite web|first=Zoe|last=Dumas|url=https://movieweb.com/helluva-boss-best-web-series-now/|title=Why Helluva Boss Is the Best Web Series Right Now|website=[[MovieWeb]]|date=July 2, 2023|access-date=July 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705201408/https://movieweb.com/helluva-boss-best-web-series-now/|archive-date=July 5, 2023|url-status=live}}</ref>
