He claimed that the story worked "either way" and that it was "awesome", mainly because of the hallucinations.

Claiming that he was "hooked" to the show, Folwer concluded his review by giving the episode a "9 out of 10" classifying it as "amazing". Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club enjoyed the episode. In his "A−" review, he noted that the episode "doesn't show any signs of imminent immolation". He thought that the morale of the episode was "wanting something to be real doesn't make it easier to pretend, and the harder Michael has to work to keep this up, the better the odds that he’s going to lose his grip".
