Reception

"Entertainment Weekly" notes that the episode "owes a large stylistic debt to "Seinfeld", specifically citing the 1991 episode "The Chinese Restaurant", which also plays out in real time. It rates the episode C and calls the answering machine gag "derivative of George Costanza". [cite web|last= Staff writer.|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,261350,00.html|title=Review: Season 3 (1996–1997)|accessdate=2007-06-18|date=2001-09-15|work=Entertainment Weekly] The authors of "Friends Like Us: The Unofficial Guide to Friends" call it "forgettable"; "The script is dull and the performers seem to know it, with none of them trying particularly hard to make it work". Allmovie says it "stands out for the way it realistically portrays how group inertia can slow you down".
