The A.V. Club praised the episode's B-story of Jerry's parents, Leonard and Joyce coming to town and revealing they are in a throuple with a young boy named Jacob, much to Jerry's dismay, however the review criticized the Annie character, saying "Morty’s brief affair with Annie is a weird bit that isn’t really funny enough to justify the time spent on it; she’s barely a character until the very end (when it she becomes interesting just long enough for Rick to shrink her gain), and her shift from “vague contempt” to “intense sexual longing” is just kind of odd."[7]
