After spending time and money at a theme park called The Overpriced World of Angelica Button, the Simpson family return home, where they find Grandpa holding Snowball II instead of Maggie in his arms.
Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave the episode a 5 out of 5 stars stating, "The script, by Elisabeth Kiernan Averick, is nuanced, and overcrowded with both easy gags, and insanely original ones.
When one of the gang has to obfuscate the already cryptic gangland language because there is a baby present, he says ‘how about we give him a boo-boo to the brain and he goes night-night forever,’ and even that is too much for Tony, who demands to know ‘You give the kiss of death with that mouth?’ Seriously, every line is great, and the turnarounds like ‘going into a legitimate legitimate business’ are sublime.
"[1] Marcus Gibson of Bubbleblabber gave the episode a 7 out of 10 stating, "Overall, ‘A Made Maggie’ is an offer that's worth taking.
Its chuckle-worthy comedy and amusing plot help provide another tolerable episode that continues the season's consistent run.
"[2] In its original broadcast, the episode was watched by 3.90 million viewers and was the highest-rated show on Animation Domination that night.
