Club gave the episode an A saying, "Last week I wrote that Modern Family's sense of sky's-the-limit potential arises ‘not because it's starting from somewhere and going somewhere else-but because it's got so much territory to explore right where it's plopped itself down.’ And this week it's like they've set out to prove me right." I'm hoping she agreed to come back and play this role over and over again." ĭonna Bowman of The A.V.
