decrease in 0.51 million viewers from "Blast from the Past". Reviews Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club gave a positive review, praising the intersecting storylines and the references to the previous season. "More generally, [the plot lines] show that Veronica Mars has created a strong enough world that it can support much higher levels. I have been, and still somewhat am, dubious about the pace at which this season is moving. But this was a great episode, even with all its density and the fact that it was essentially all setup. And it was great because it was attached to the history of the show so far." Television Without Pity gave the episode an "A". Price Peterson, writing for TV.com, wrote in his episode verdict that "This episode was great, if way more grim than usual. Between Abel's offscreen cancer death to Amelia's icy resting place…there was a real whiff of death in this episode." Complex ranked Kim Stolz's cameo on its list of "the 25 worst cameos in TV history." BuzzFeed ranked the episode forty-fifth on its list of the best Veronica Mars episodes, criticizing the Clarence Wiedman plot while writing that "we get to see some prime banter between Logan and Cliff, two of the show’s funniest characters."
