Yes, the series in fact has won several awards. The Bad Beginning, the first book in the series won many Literary Awards, such as the Colorado Children's Book Award, the Nevada Young Readers Award, and the Nene Award. It was also a finalist for the Book Sense Book of the year. Many of the following books have received similar awards, and nominations, including nominations for the Children's Choice Awards, the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, and a 2006 Quill Book Award.

In addition to its success, it has faced an equal amount of criticism. Many have been offended by Olaf's scheme in the first book- being an old man, and marrying a young girl. Though Snicket had no intention of it coming off in an ill manner, and simply having Olaf be determined to snatch the Baudelaire's fortune, it has been banned in several schools.

Snicket's use of profanity in The Reptile Room, however mild or severe it may seem to some, has also gained the series unwanted attention.
