Career
On The Ringer, Allison P. Davis described Byer's comedy as "most easily compared to a raunchier Retta with a hint of Ilana Glazer's madcap energy. She's mouthy, vulgar, a little bit goofy, relatable but ridiculously charming, and not afraid to infuse her broad comedy with a confident sexuality." Writing for USA Today, Jaleesa M. Jones said "it's precisely [Byer's] brazen, ribald brand of comedy that landed her in the creative incubator that is MTV, where she toplines two new comedy shows" in 2016, Ladylike and Loosely Exactly Nicole."
Web series
Byer and Sasheer Zamata created a web series called Pursuit of Sexiness. Nayomi Reghay at The Daily Dot called it a "must-see".
