Dennis Perkins from "The A.V. Club" thought that many parts of the episode had good design, but some parts would not be remembered well. Jesse Schedeen from IGN said that "Treehouse of Horror" episodes are usually not "more memorable" than a normal episode. However, Schdeen thinks that this episode is better than most "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, saying all of the stories were strong. Tony Sokol from Den of Geek said that it was "a very funny episode" and used words about Halloween to say how it is good, but not one of the best.
