Despite the controversy around Lily's (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) plotline of a toddler cursing, "Little Bo Bleep" received positive reviews.

Phil (Ty Burrell) and the kids want to help her get ready, especially after a newspaper critic writes that people find her "angry and unlikable".

They conduct a mock interview in the family living room, during which they all try to make her lose "bad" habits such as rolling her eyes, pointing her finger and being sarcastic.

Duane brings up the incident Phil had on Valentine's Day when he went to the wrong hotel room waiting for Claire.

Phil tries to defend himself but he just makes things worse and ends up going viral for his autotuned and edited version of his explanation on YouTube.

[...] Next time, if a toddler saying a faux f-word gets your panties in a bunch, we suggest the radical protest move of turning off the television.

"[4] Maris Kreizman of Vulture gave a good review to the episode stating that it was "one of the strongest of an uneven third season" and that there was not controversy on it, regarding Lily's storyline.

[6] Verne Gay of Newsday also gave a good review to the episode saying that it was "one of the funniest half hours of television all year".

"[7] Adam Reisinger mentions on his blog that "Little Bo Bleep" is "one of the best and most true to life in terms of raising a toddler."

In reality, Modern Family handled the storyline well, made it funny, and ended up with one of the best episodes of the season.
