Emma Stefansky of ''[[The Daily Beast]]'' stated, "There is an air of unknown doom that hangs about the show even in its first episodes, with people repeatedly mentioning a feeling of ominousness permeating the city, muttering things like,
Magdalene Taylor of ''[[Vulture Magazine|Vulture]]'' said, "For now, we can rely on one thing about this season: It will be sexy. ''AHS'' almost always is, but the queer '80s New York City setting offers far more creative and erotic fodder than, say, the dilapidated North Carolina colonial farmhouse of ''AHS: Roanoke''. The leather, the coke, the soundtrack — even if the plot this season fails us, at least we'll be fed aesthetically. There are not yet any ghosts, vampires, witches, or demons, but if this season is entirely grounded in reality, it's at least a gritty and exciting one to see. Though this might not be as big of a hit as ''Dahmer'' or ''The Watcher'', ''AHS'' fans likely won't be starved of the campy theatricalism we've come to adore."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Magdalene |date=October 20, 2022 |title=American Horror Story: NYC Season-Premiere Recap: Scary Island |url=https://www.vulture.com/article/american-horror-story-recap-season-11-episode-1-and-2.html |access-date=October 23, 2022 |website=[[Vulture (website)|Vulture]] |language=en-us |archive-date=October 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022125315/https://www.vulture.com/article/american-horror-story-recap-season-11-episode-1-and-2.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Ron Hogan of ''[[Den of Geek]]'' gave ''American Horror Story: NYC'' a grade of 4 out of 5 stars, asserting, "Now that sort of wild conspiracy theory feels more like the ''AHS'' I'm used to. People on the hunt for a serial killer is all well and good, and can be very fun, but it wouldn't be Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk without something crazier than shirtless hunks in cages to really liven things up. ''NYC'' might be more David Fincher's Zodiac than a take on William Lustig's Maniac for the moment, but there's always that undercurrent of weirdness to everything American Horror Story does that's just waiting to move from a subplot to the main feature."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hogan |first=Ron |date=October 20, 2022 |title=American Horror Story: NYC Feels Like Nothing AHS Has Ever Attempted |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/american-horror-story-nyc-feels-like-nothing-ahs-has-ever-attempted/ |access-date=October 23, 2022 |website=[[Den of Geek]] |language=en-US |archive-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021235902/https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/american-horror-story-nyc-feels-like-nothing-ahs-has-ever-attempted/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
