Dan Iverson from IGN said that the episode would make people who do not like "Family Guy" "laugh pretty hard." Iverson thought that it "won't be remembered as fondly as some of the episodes from the first few seasons." He thought the funniest part of the episode was showing how radio jockeys are "immature". Brett Love from TV Squad did not like the story with Peter, Thelma, and Tom. Love thought that the "Stewie and Brian stuff was the best part of the episode", but said that the episode was a "slow start to the season". Francis Rizzo from DVD Talk said that the story about radio is "a perfect parody of everything that's wrong in radio."
