Robert Canning of IGN said the episode " was a well-crafted half-hour with a solid main storyline " . He said that the episode took '' 30 Rock '' in the " right direction " with a good story structure and a " successful effort at developing its characters " . Canning rated the episode 8 out of 10 . Julia Ward of AOL 's TV Squad started her review by saying if Alec Baldwin did not win the Golden Globe for his performance , she would have no choice but to resign from her post at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association , which he did at the 64th Golden Globe Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical . She enjoyed Tina Fey 's performance and liked Tracy 's meat machine endorsement , Liz 's " singles yoga " and " scalp pain " Google searches and Dr. Leo Spaceman 's " reds , yellows , purples " . She criticized several guest appearances , saying Goldberg 's guest appearance was " underwhelming , " and felt that Jane Krakowski was still " an odd fit for the show " . Matt Webb Mitovich of '' TV Guide '' also gave a positive review , saying the episode " moved so dang fast and was so crackling " that it was very entertaining
