nick hogan of tv overmind gave the episode a 3.5 star rating out of 5, writing "overall, i'm still on the fence about season 4. there's a lot of potential here for some wonderful stories, but is it too early for batman? if it's not too early for batman, is it too similar to the christopher nolan films? i suppose only time will tell. for now, i'm still in, and this is still a fun show." sydney bucksbaum of "the hollywood reporter" wrote, "despite getting electrocuted last season, babs (erin richards) made her return to "gotham" this week, albeit more calm than usual. no matter what, it's amazing to see babs and tabs on the same side again. we could be seeing "gotham city sirens" on tv before the movie comes out."
