The episode received mixed to negative reviews from critics. L.J. Gibbs, from TV Fanatic, had said that even though the main stories for the episode had involved "lying, deceit and plot twists", which usually happens on the series, in this case "it was ever-so-slightly disappointing and actually felt quite a bit forced". He gave the episode a negative review by saying that the show had played itself out with this episode, where everything happens to make no sense (Chuck kissing a man, Nate helping Carter, Carter dumping Serena). [3] Enid Portuguez, from the Los Angeles Times, had, however, gave the episode a mixed review by saying that it was obvious since from the beginning that neither Vanessa and Blair would get to do the speech, failing their plans, and praised Kelly Rutherford's acting in the episode by saying that Rufus and Lily "are getting cuter with each episode" and mentioning a fun line between Lily and Blair.
