 Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a largely positive review , noting that " in the episode ’ s 10 minutes , the writers create an apt metaphor for pubescent dating , as Finn and FP struggle to make a relationship work . " He noted the symbolism inherent in making Flame Princess a fire elemental , writing that " fire is the perfect element for a hormonal teenage princess , and FP can ’ t control her emotions , burning everything in her path as she reacts to Finn ’ s advances . " Sava also complimented the return of N.E.P.T.R. , as well as his short rap , which Sava called " a perfect little musical interlude at the midway point of the episode . "
