 Adams highlighted the serious discussion between Darryl and Jim in the warehouse, noting that "Jim's extrication is something to root for", and that it honored "Craig Robinson's dedication to the show".While feeling that some of the episode's subplots were forced, he complimented the Pam and Nellie pairing due to "Pam's past ability to break through [people like] Angela and Dwight's defenses".Bonnie Stiernberg of "Paste" magazine noted that, despite Andy's regression to "his old ways", it was beneficial for the episode and allowed for many jokes to be played out.
