Inverse complimented Jerry's "Christmas arc" in "Anatomy Park" and its consistency with Dan Harmon's story circle;[8] Screen Rant complimented both the character's redemption arc in "develop[ing] a spine and becom[ing] a stronger person" across the third and fourth seasons by comparison to their depiction across the first two seasons,[9] as well as the depiction of the original Jerry in "Rick Potion #9".[10] further praising how "his character being lampooned [is] still a nice way to humanize the character somewhat without losing a comedic edge."[11]
