CBR stated that the character of Pan "embraces a tomboy aesthetic and prefers fighting over other activities that might be considered more conventionally feminine.", and claimed that the show "dropped the ball with [her] potential." Comicbook.com said that GT "floundered to create characters who were memorable or even likable to fans", and criticized it for making Goku become "so important to the show that former characters like Krillin, Gohan, and even Vegeta are all but forgotten."
