Upon seeing Nancy in
The New Temperatures Rising Show (1972) syndicated newspaper columnist Win Fanning referred to her as "a fresh new face and talent giving promise of a long, successful career ahead". Another reviewer, writing for the Armored Sentinel of Fort Worth, Texas, stated that "the brightest spot of the series is Nancy Fox. Her role applies the wackiness of
Goldie Hawn, but in situation comedy form. I'd watch the show just for her!" Still another reviewer, commenting on "Temperatures Rising", stated that Nancy "wins this year's cute-as-a-kitten award".
