Club liked that the episode explored a new side of Buffy, but felt that the four previous episodes had not set up Buffy as a "person with normal teenage tastes and desires". He still found "a lot to like" in the episode.
Club enjoyed how the episode delved into a new aspect of Buffy, but believed that the previous four episodes had not adequately prepared Buffy as someone who "has typical teenage interests and feelings". He still found "a great deal to appreciate" in the episode.
