Reception edit

Pilot edit

Series edit

Comic Book Resources lauded Alex Brightman's "performance as Sir Pentious [as] the breakout star of ["The Show Must Go On"], not only as a character, but also as a mascot of [the] Hotel's positive influence."[2] The Illuminerdi brought attention to Brightman's "great voice acting as Sir Pentious,"[3] which IGN noted made the character "an unlikely showstopper, an adorable blend of incompetence and earnestness who makes chronic failure endearing. The poster serpent for destructive innovation, Sir Pentious is Wile E. Coyote in shedding skin." They additionally lauded his "heartfelt quest for betterment" over the course of the series.[4]

Merchandise edit

Since 2018, official clothing and merchandise based around Sir Pentious and the cast of Hazbin Hotel designed by Medrano have been available intermittently from Shark Robot LLC.[5][6]
