 Critical reception to the episode was largely mixed . Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club awarded the episode a " C + " and called it " disappointing " . Despite noting that it is " a totally serviceable episode of Adventure Time " , he argued that the episode felt too much like an episode from the show 's first or second seasons , when installments were often lacking in depth and a bit more uneven across the board . He noted that , " Tonight ’ s episode is for the kids . It ’ s simple and easy to follow , and doesn ’ t contain any unsettling imagery … but that also prevents it from being especially memorable . " Ultimately , he felt that the show 's returned fixation on Finn and Jake proved that the expansion of the show 's universe was " the best thing that could have happened to it . "
