playing puppet-girl with her during the party. Regardless of the retroactive comfort of knowing that she'd lost her virginity to someone she liked, Veronica did not remember it...That kind of psychological trauma goes away immediately?" Kimberly Roots of TV Line called the episode "cathartic" and that "we get a huge reveal from Duncan, some unintentionally very public LoVe PDA and a say-it-ain't-so-Logan! cliffhanger that swings us right into the season finale." BuzzFeed ranked the episode 3rd on its complete ranking of Veronica Mars episodes, comparing it to Buffy the Vampire Slayer—"both these shows have always managed a perfect balance between high school drama (gossip, futile betrayals, and short-lived romances) and extremely powerful and dark themes (sexism, rape, harassment, addiction, and domestic violence)." TV Line ranked the episode 2nd on a similar list, only below "Pilot". Wired called the episode a necessary episode if one binge-watched the show, writing that "The information she uncovers is staggeringly heartbreaking, and the way in which the show handled the arc pays off with complex, difficult confrontations."
