"work bus" received mostly positive reviews. "the a.v. club" reviewer erik adams considered "work bus" to be the funniest episode of the series since the seventh season. he noted that while the episode had a slow start, the writers used the pie concept and ensemble cast to reach a "height of funniness", and compared the "mob mentality" of the cast to "the simpsons". he rated the episode a b+. ign writer cindy white called the episode a "pretty good example of how to do an out-of-the-office episode right", considering it to be superior to other out-of-office episodes, including "christening" and "gettysburg". she also complimented the characterization of jim, pam and dwight, and their relationships with each other, but criticized the characterization of andy as well as the cold open, for making andy too similar to michael, and later on commented that his new "douche-baggery" spoiled the episode for her. she gave the episode a 7.8/10, concluding that it was a "good" episode. michael tedder of "new york" gave a positive review and praised the scene featuring jim and dwight on the roof of the bus, saying their dynamic had matured over the years. tedder also complimented cranston's direction in the episode, commenting that the "cramped quality of 'work bus' was well matched with cranston's talents". he also wrote that the nellie-andy subplot had some potential to become "promising" if their rivalry continues through the rest of the season, but "we'll have to see".
