Jason Hughes of AOL's TV Squad stated in his review "While 'Modern Family' is consistently one of the funniest half hours on television, it's rarely as well-balanced as this episode.
Despite feeling it didn't have a "mushy center" he also felt "it's Modern Family's balancing act between the absurd and the relatable that has made it a sitcom for the ages.
Despite criticizing the writers "painting" Mitchell as a "shallow social climber" he also stated "that the storyline is quickly redeemed in yet another hilarious episode".
