Events from previous summers have impacted Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher's connection with Belly as she navigates the difficulties of growing up and her first love. She discovers the importance of taking chances and that change is inevitable. Every summer Belly and her family stay at her mother's best friend's home in Cousins Beach, Massachusetts. As a child, she felt left out because of the four children, she was the youngest and the only girl. However, this summer, Conrad and Jeremiah have noticed how much she has changed over the last year.

For the first season, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 88% approval rating with an average rating of 7.1/10, based on 24 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "The Summer I Turned Pretty doesn't need more time to become a swan, coming out of the gate a solidly charming and sweet rom-com with appeal across generations."<ref>Template:Cite Rotten TomatoesTemplate:Cbignore</ref> Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 72 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>Template:Cite MetacriticTemplate:Cbignore</ref>

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "As a coming-of-age story, Amazon's The Summer I Turned Pretty is a cut above. Tenderly written and endearingly acted, it's sensitive to the subtle but irreversible shifts in self-perception that come with late adolescence—and at the same time clear-eyed enough to understand that teenagers, up to and including its own blushing heroine, sure can act like clueless jerks while they're figuring out how to wield their newfound powers."<ref><templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>Han, Angie (June 16, 2022).

Writing for The Playlist, Marya E. Gates wrote, "Although the voiceover in which [Belly] shares [her] feelings is unevenly deployed, it's refreshing to see a story that puts the girl in the driver's seat and gives her the room to work through the contradictions of adolescence and sexual coming-of-age on her own terms."<ref><templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>Gates, Marya E.

Impact

After the series' debut, all three The Summer I Turned Pretty books entered the top three spots on the Amazon Best Sellers list, with the second book, It's Not Summer Without You, reaching number one. The artists whose music is used in the show have also seen an increase in streams, sales and followers, with some experiencing up to a 6,000% increase in song sales. Taylor Swift's seventh studio album, Lover, resurged in sales and streaming, and re-entered the top 40 region of the Billboard 200 chart as well, after three of its songs—"Cruel Summer", "Lover" and "False God"—were featured in the series. Beyoncé's 2014 single 'XO' tripled in sales units following the use of it in the finale. The series also had a significant social media reach, with the hashtag #TheSummerITurnedPretty accumulating over 13.8 billion views on TikTok. It generated over 107,000 global posts over launch weekend and 725 million potential impressions across platforms, according to social analytics agency DMS.<ref><templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>Longeretta, Emily (June 30, 2022).
