Virginia Heffernan from "The New York Times" felt that the deterioration of Conrad and Montag's friendship was "more convincing than "Friends" and just about any other comedy about female relationships because — as anyone who has ever been a young woman knows — undying friendships die." Writing for "Los Angeles Times", Denise Martin was complimentary of the fact that the conflict was "unsullied" despite the extensive media coverage it received before the season began, and added that it was "better than anything you'd get on "All My Children"." Furthermore, Conrad's delivery of the titular line "You know what you did!" when speaking to Montag has been recognized as an iconic moment from the series; the staff from "Us Weekly" ranked the scene as the most memorable event from the program when recapping highlights from its six seasons in July 2010.
