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 was pleased that the episode examined a new aspect of Buffy's character; however, he believed that the first four episodes hadn't adequately prepared Buffy for being portrayed as having "normal teenage tastes and desires." Despite this, Club still had much to like about the episode.
