 The episode received mostly positive attention from television critics . A reporter for the Los Angeles Daily News gave the episode a positive review calling it " meatier " than usual . The reporter thought the take on The Full Monty was " sharply silly " and said " Carey 's striptease doesn 't come till the show 's end . The most we see is a full rear view – raw indeed but strategically blocked by microphones . But the bun fun , half @-@ baked as it is , is exuberant and preceded by smarter writing than usual . " The reporter called the characters " unlikely Chippendales " and added that Carey had one of the best scripts he had in a while , which mixed " understated humor with unself @-@ conscious undress . "
