Jesse Schedeen of IGN rated the episode 8.5 out of 10, praising the "fun twists" and the humorous dynamic between sober Rick and drunk Rick. Schedeen praised that the ending subverted a past pattern of Rick showing genuine affection whilst drunk.[8] With a B rating, Greene found the episode entertaining in parts, though thinking that it was too similar to season 1's "Anatomy Park". He praised the Vindicator guest stars, approving of the "nice bit of misdirection" in Slater's character being killed first.[5] Shepherd found the episode "one of their funniest, most deranged adventures yet", praising its use of superhero tropes.[7]
