 Aaron Channon of "Paste" gave the episode a 7.3 out of 10 and wrote, "'M.E.Time' showed continued growth for the off-poster characters in Santiago, Diaz, Boyle and Jeffords (who reveals his artistic side), but at the sacrifice of the Jack and Liz of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in Holt and Peralta.Adding to this problem was a humor deficit as compared to previous episodes.
