Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gives the episode an A in a positive review, writing that "Dr. Wong helping people with their coprophagia is a very good joke".[8] Steve Greene of IndieWire grades the episode as a B+, complimenting "the series' increasingly sharp details" such as giving Pickle Rick a black eye and the sound design of his mustard salve. Greene praises guest stars Sarandon and Trejo, however noting that "there's a certain thread of magic that gets lost when the Rick/Morty dynamic gets removed from the heart of an episode".[5]
