Critical reception to the episode was largely positive . Sava awarded the episode a " B " , and wrote that Ricardio is " always welcome on this series , largely due to Takei ’s delightful voice work . " Furthermore , he praised the way that Takei delivered his lines , noting that " there ’s a theatrical smarminess to his vocals that is a stark contrast to the Ice King ’s nasality " , and that " Takei always sounds like he ’s having a great time reading the ridiculous lines that are written for him . " Sava also wrote positively of Bubblegum 's character , noting that she " dominates this episode " and that the " episode reveals a side of her that we rarely see , and hopefully we ’ll get more of badass PB in the future . " Richard Whittaker of '' The Austin Chronicle '' wrote that the episode is " Princess Bubblegum-centric " , which , along with the third season episode " Fionna and Cake " , provides the female fans of the show an opportunity to see female characters acting in situations normally reserved for Finn and Jake . The '' Entertainment Examiner '' named the episode as one of the " memorable " episodes that appeared on the 2013 DVD release '' Fionna and Cake '' . The episode was nominated for an Annie Award for " Storyboarding in an Animated Television/Broadcast Production " at the 40th Annie Awards , although the episode did not win
