Carena Crawford from ''[[All About Soap]]'' branded "minxy Maddie" as a "diva" and added "what a devious little liar she is".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Crawford|first=Carena|title=Callum fights Joel!|journal=[[All About Soap]]|date=14–27 April 2012|issue=15|pages=27|publisher=[[Hearst Magazines UK]]}}</ref> Her colleague Laura Morgan said that Maddie and Callum's relationship was the "sexiest thing" in ''Hollyoaks''. In theory their relationship should not work because "she's the blonde queen bee worshipped by her adoring posse, and he's the dark brooding intellect [...] but it does work, and what's more, it's hot!"<ref name=cadds/> She opined that they shared an unforgettable "magical first date" which was "the stuff teenage dreams are made of". While they have "great chemistry"; Morgan felt that the early signs of their romance did not look promising. Maddie's "intimacy issues and endless game-playing" mixed with Callum's coldness is not "a recipe for everlasting love".<ref name=cadds>{{cite web|last=Morgan|first=Laura|title=Hollyoaks: We heart Caddie!|url=http://www.allaboutsoap.co.uk/blog/we-heart-caddie/|work=[[All About Soap]]|publisher=([[Hearst Magazines UK]])|access-date=3 May 2012|date=13 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707000958/http://www.allaboutsoap.co.uk/blog/we-heart-caddie/|archive-date=7 July 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Adam Beresford of ''Digital Spy'' described Maddie as the "queen bee of sixth form".<ref name="Bizarre">{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/feature/a807052/7-of-the-most-bizarre-deaths-in-soaps-from-eastenders-car-crushing-to-corrie-freezing/|title=7 of the most bizarre deaths in soap, from EastEnders car-crushing to Corrie deep-freezing|last=Beresford|first=Adam|date=6 September 2016|work=[[Digital Spy]]|publisher=[[Hearst Magazines UK]]|access-date=6 September 2016}}</ref>
On Maddie's death, Crawford said: "How brutal was that? After the queen bee saved her own skin by leaving poor Neil to die in pain when the minibus exploded, she was a goner herself after the flaming car door flew off the vehicle and crushed her. Talk about jaw-dropping!"<ref>{{cite web|last=Crawford |first=Carena |title=Hollyoaks: Crash Drama! |url=http://www.allaboutsoap.co.uk/blog/hollyoaks-crash-drama/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209043308/http://www.allaboutsoap.co.uk/blog/hollyoaks-crash-drama/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 December 2012 |work=[[All About Soap]] |publisher=([[Hearst Magazines UK]]) |access-date=19 November 2012 |date=15 November 2012 }}</ref> Langford commented "Maddie's death was a bit of a shock, especially since she had survived the accident, only to be killed by falling debris. Of course, there are those who say she got what she deserved because she left Neil to die to save herself and I can't say I'm upset that Maddie is gone. She was a character who was mean and nasty, but there seemed to be no reason for it. I don't have a problem with villains and bad girls, but the show seemed to have trouble writing for her other than to be cruel to others, making her a shallow, one dimensional character."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afterelton.com/tv/langford-on-soaps-11-20-2012?page=1,1 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130101202254/http://www.afterelton.com/tv/langford-on-soaps-11-20-2012?page=1,1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 January 2013 |title=Langford on Soaps: What's Ahead For Brendan, Ste, Doug and John Paul on "Hollyoaks?" |last=Langford |first=Anthony D. |date=21 November 2012 |work=[[AfterEllen.com and AfterElton.com#AfterElton.com|AfterElton]] |publisher=[[Logo (TV channel)|Logo]] |access-date=21 November 2012 }}</ref> Beresford placed Maddie's death at number 3 on his "7 of the most bizarre deaths in soap" list, "the Enjoy The Ride bus crash sealed her fate, after she first saved her friend George but didn't save Neil.
