Robert Canning of IGN thought that the episode "was "30 Rock"’s best episode of the season [so far], if not the best episode ever from this young series." Canning also said that "this was just a fantastic, funny episode of "30 Rock". It was also an episode that once again proved the character of Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski), who was completely absent from this half-hour, simply isn't necessary when you've got Tracy Jordan talking to a pigeon on a trash can." Canning rated this episode "9.5 out of 10." Matt Webb Mitovich of "TV Guide" wrote that "it's not surprising that – in my opinion, at least – it fell "juuuuuuust" a bit short. It's almost as if the funniest parts of the Edie Falco story were played by [Kristen] Wiig in the Lifetime movie." He thought that "the 'Liz suspects the neighbor is a terrorist' story played out rather well." Jeff Labrecque of "Entertainment Weekly" wrote that "Overall, [this was] another splendid [episode]. My only beef was with the Verizon bit. "30 Rock" normally does a splendid job of balancing the corporate elements of television, often utilizing it for comic fodder. But the winking cell phone banter lacked subtlety, and it seemed to me like the show was trying to have its cake and eat it, too."
