at going off the wall, when you take away the crazy ideas, it still retains a base of genuine humor and solid, emotional human relationships." Emily VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club gave the episode an 'A−', saying "Community has always been known as a clever show, and that’s because what the show throws at you upfront is that cool cleverness, that sense that it’s just too awesome for words. But when you start to dig down a bit, you see that what it also is achingly sincere." Leigh Raines of TV Fanatic gave "Foosball" a 4.5/5 rating, saying it was "full of love and awesome quotes." Robert Canning of IGN said "[Community] clearly has the feel of an already great series truly hitting its stride. Fingers crossed that NBC has been watching these episodes and is starting to think the same thing."
