Feherty
received positive reviews from critics. Scott Michaux of
The Augusta Chronicle
commented that the show "has all the ingredients to be a breakout hit", and praised its premiere episode featuring
Lee Trevino
for being "a poignant self-confession of Feherty's own sins [with] enough little bits and pieces of humor to keep the whole thing rollicking."
