"Double Date" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B" rating and wrote, "Unfortunately, while 'Double Date' has some interesting ideas in the nature of the Hunta Lami Muuaji it takes a disappointing solution to the problem. While in other circumstances Nick might try to find some middle ground, here his approach is blunt force by way of a crossbow, loading Linus/Stacy up with enough testosterone to keep the latter repressed so the former can be convicted of the crime. It's a problematic point (or an 'ethically ambiguous, morally grey area-type situation' as Monroe puts it) but the ethics of the argument are almost entirely glossed over. Despite the excellent framing of the church stand-off and the clear sense of loss on Linus's face when he's unable to reconnect, everything is tied off too neatly and without enough acknowledgement of how they're essentially killing Stacy off. True, the fact that they're both willing participants in the crime makes Nick's actions justified, but there's a whole level of ramifications here that Grimm doesn't have either the time or interest to explore."

Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 4 star rating out of 5, stating: "Well, that's the worst case of dissociative identity disorder I've ever seen. In Grimm Season 4 Episode 15, an unusual sort of Wesen actually had three forms: a male human, a female human, and its intermediate flatworm form." [5]
MaryAnn Sleasman from TV.com , wrote, "While 'Double Date' disappointed in some big ways, just like with so many other Grimm episodes, the questions and considerations raised by its flaws managed to elevate the hour just a little bit higher than it would otherwise rank. Grimm is more of a thinking show than initially meets the eye—and that's part of what keeps us coming back every week." [6]
Christine Horton of Den of Geek wrote, "This was Adalind's hilarious – yet accurate – response to the news to finding herself pregnant again, and was the unquestionably the line of the show." [7]
