Town wrote that the episode has 'some funny moments'. Giving the episode a mixed review, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood of I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide said that the episode is 'very funny when it's funny, very poor when it isn't'. They wrote that the best part of the episode is 'the Scottish stuff', and 'the idea that, once again, Burns is actually worried about his public image, as he was in "The Joy of Sect"'. Jake McNeill, of Digital Entertainment News, gave the episode a negative review, and wrote that 'the story takes too long to get going'.
