 Leonard Pierce of "The A.V.Club" gave the episode a B saying "Overall, this was a strong if not essential episode – it didn't move any major story arcs along at all, but it was solidly funny, and proved that the show can survive taking both Jim and Pam out of the picture for a full episode".Joel Keller criticized the main plot saying "It was more than a post wedding let down; it was one of the worst episodes in years" The episode currently ranks 23rd on the OfficeTally's ranking list of Season 6 episodes.
