BuddyTV Senior Writer Oscar Dahl stated that "What can you say? "The Office" is, if anything, only getting better. Last week's super-sized episode was absolutely spectacular, but tonight's might have been even better." Dahl went on to say that both storylines of the episode were the main contributors to the success of the episode. In a poll taken by OfficeTally.com, an "Office" fansite, "Safety Training" was ranked by viewers of the show as the 19th most popular episode of season three.
