 In a review of the Syfy channel series "Eureka", "Boston Globe" critic Matthew Gilbert compared the series to "Psych", describing both as having "light-hearted dramedic tones".A few days after the episode aired, Virginia Rohan of "The Record" called the show a "promising series".Several critics compared the episode and show to the then-new Lifetime network series Angela's Eyes; in his article for the "Los Angeles Daily News", journalist David Kronke stated that "Lifetime's new crime drama 'Angela's Eyes' is essentially the USA Network's new series 'Psych' inside out and played without laughs".
