 Brad Trechak of TV Squad also praised "Blue Harvest", stating that it "was a fun episode to watch"; he thought that "MacFarlane kept to the story pretty well, and there were enough corny jokes to make it amusing".Ahsan Haque from IGN gave it a score of seven out of ten, criticizing the selection of Herbert as Obi-Wan, but did say that the other choices were "spot-on"; he ended his review by stating, "as a tribute to "Star Wars", this episode succeeds, but you can't help but wish that there was a bit more to it, considering the nature of the source material".In a later review of the season as a whole, Haque said that the episode was "generally entertaining, but certainly wasn't as great as it could have been".
