Reception

The authors of the book "I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide", Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, called it "one of the most dismally unfunny episodes ever, lifted only by the brief appearance of a talking camel and Homer's clever way of getting Cooder and Spud out of his home. Whereas most of the series' politically incorrect moments are funny and well-observed, this episode seems to be saying that fairground folk and travelers really are deeply unpleasant criminals who are both irredeemable and unworthy of help. Nasty-taste-in-the-mouth time." In a review of the ninth season of "The Simpsons", Isaac Mitchell-Frey of the "Herald Sun" described the episode as "brilliant", and highlighted it along with episodes "The Trouble with Trillions" and "The Joy of Sect".
