Why It's Mixed
Some people hated this show because it's a rehash of Inspector Gadget, with the characters and concept being based on that, and some people love this show, mainly because they grew up watching it, being big fans of it.

Go Go Gadget Good Qualities

 * 1) It’s one of the very few times where the writers of a show take the "younger version of main characters" spin-off cliché and actually do a decent job with it (despite it's criticism and obscurity).
 * 2) The character design for Gadget Boy is adorable.
 * 3) Even if this show is for little kids, it can be enjoying for older audiences too.
 * 4) Decent animation (despite the animation errors), even for 1990's and DIC standards.
 * 5) Good episodes like:
 * 6) *Raiders of the Lost Mummies (Which was the pilot episode and started the series on a high note.)
 * 7) *Gadget Boy and the Wee Folk (Which the leprechauns in the episode are cute and look similar to The Smurfs and mh:besttvshows:Snorks.)
 * 8) Good and catchy theme song.
 * 9) Good voice acting from the likes of Don Adams, Maurice LaMarche, and Tara Strong.
 * 10) The French version is a bit better, with a more fitting voice for Gadget Boy and better lip-syncing.
 * 11) Very likable characters, including the title character and Agent Heather.
 * 12) Spydra is an entertaining and sympathetic villain, although not as good as Dr. Claw.
 * 13) Just like Inspector Gadget, it has a pretty good amount of slapstick and humor in every episode.

Go Go Gadget Bad Qualities

 * 1) The plot for the first season is kinda generic and a rehash to Inspector Gadget.
 * 2) While decent, animation suffers from many animation errors and hasn't aged very well.
 * 3) The lip-syncing is bad at times, as sometimes when characters speak, their lips don't move at all or don't move to the speech well (mostly since it was first shown in France).
 * 4) Don Adams' voice for Gadget Boy sounds way too much like an adolescent and doesn't sound like a child. It sounds more like his Inspector Gadget voice more than anything.
 * 5) The second season was only created to fulfill FCC E/I requirements and it shows.

Reception
It received some decent reviews as well as a 5.6/10 rating on IMDB and a 71% on Google.

Trivia

 * Gadget Boy was popular in Europe.
 * Tara Strong, who does the voice of Agent Heather, would go on to voice Penny in the 2015 CGI Inspector Gadget cartoon.
