Reception
Sing Tao Daily said in 2003 that the Jade Starbiz presenters "usually have somewhat vague faces" because "being a second-tier host with smooth talk is enough. Even if they’re not good at first, after enough time on the job, they become okay." The television critic continued, "The content is okay too.... Difficult topics are narrated and easy-to-shoot ones come with video and audio." According to Macau Daily in March 2005, the show had bad ratings. The newspaper called it "a very entertaining program that allows viewers to receive the latest entertainment trends and explosive news in real time". However, the journalist called it "a dispensable program" since the program's news previously had been reported in newspapers so "the audience will feel bored" when seeing the news a second time at the end of the day.
