Positive reviews include Zack Handlen's The A.V. Club review, which claimed "As entertainingly over-the-top as the storyline is, it’s a surprisingly level-headed look at the challenges that face anyone trying to raise a child. Beth and Jerry offer Morty advice on what he should do, but it’s contradictory, and the minute anything goes wrong, the blame falls on Morty’s shoulders. Regardless of how good his intentions are, the poor kid ends up lying to Morty Jr."[4] Joe Matar of Den of Geek praised the episode's uniqueness, saying "One fun thing “Raising Gazorpazorp” does is swap Morty and his sister Summer’s roles.
