Reception Rotten Tomatoes reports a 58% approval rating, based on 12 reviews. The critical consensus reads, "["Rubber Man"] delivers the biggest reveal of the season as the mysterious identity of the man in the rubber suit is finally solved." James Queally of The Star-Ledger evaluated the series after this episode, saying, "This show just continually feels like it's one step forward, two steps back. It's too inconsistent, and too reliant on noise and smoke, to make me care all that much." TV Fanatic's Matt Richenthal commented on the episode, "For perhaps the first time all season, American Horror Story didn't leave me with many questions. There was plenty of frightening, violent nuttiness this week, but there were also answers." In its original American broadcast, "Rubber Man" was seen by an estimated 2.81 million household viewers and gained a 1.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode was down two tenths from the previous episode.
