 IGN's Travis Fickett was less positive, giving the episode a score of 6.5 out of 10.He found the Daleks to come off "goofy and almost comic relief" and, unlike Wright, felt that Tallulah was an offensive stereotype, as well as the other Americans as annoying stock characters.Furthermore, despite good acting from Tennant and Agyeman and some "nice images", Fickett criticised the premise for not making much sense, with its message "muddled".
