The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, who praised the Sam's character development, performances, themes and writing.
For his performance in the episode, Toheeb Jimoh was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The press is also curious whether the return of Jamie (Phil Dunster) to the club will cause any friction among the players, with Sam (Toheeb Jimoh) already expressing his disapproval.
