Alan Sepinwall fra The Star-Ledger sagde, at han nød den nye historie om papirfirmaet, men at "Michael Scott Paper Company" ikke var lige så morsom som "Dream Team", der blev sendt samme dag. Sepinwall roste bestemte scener som Dwight og Andys konkurrerende duet og Kellys plan om at få Charles til at få lyst til hende. Hun kritiserede vittighederne om de trange nye kontorlokaler for at være mindre sjove end dem i de tidligere afsnit. Sepinwall sagde også, at handlingen mellem Jim og Charles var ved at blive gentagende, og at "det ville hjælpe, hvis forfatterne nogensinde gav Idris Elba noget sjovt at lave". Margaret Lions fra Entertainment Weekly sagde: "Dette afsnit var ikke et af mine favoritter ... Ingen bomber, ingen fejlslagne bidder, og efter The Office's standarder var der ikke noget, der var særlig krimi-værdigt. Men 'TMSPC' er mere grundarbejde end udbytte." Hun sagde, at Dwights fortolkning af "Take Me Home, Country Roads" på tysk var "det absolut sjoveste øjeblik i afsnittet".
Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger said he was enjoying the new paper company storyline, but that "Michael Scott Paper Company" was not as funny as "Dream Team", which aired the same day. Sepinwall praised particular scenes such as Dwight and Andy's competitive duet  and Kelly's plan to make Charles want her. She criticized the cramped new office space jokes as being less funny than those in previous episodes. Sepinwall also said the storyline between Jim and Charles was getting repetitive and, "It would help if the writers ever gave Idris Elba something funny to do." Margaret Lions of Entertainment Weekly said, "This episode wasn't one of my favorites ... No bombs, no bits that failed, and by The Office's standards, nothing even particularly cringe worthy. But 'TMSPC' is more groundwork than payoff." She said Dwight's rendition of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" in German was "the absolute funniest moment of the episode".
