Jade Venus commented on her experience, stating, "This was a lot of fun and we really kept Matt on his toes—at times, he didn’t know if he was coming or going. However, I think he also gained a valuable education on what it’s like to be trans in the industry and the world. It was Ariel’s second appearance and my first, but I would definitely love to come on again sometime."
Ariel Demure also expressed her enthusiasm for the episode, saying, "I was ecstatic to do Matt’s show again. It was the first stop on our whirlwind tour of media for 'The Naughty Nanny' parody, and I was happy to do it. It was even more fun than my first appearance on the show, only this time I did it with Shirley Temples flowing. Matt is a great host, and this is a wonderful episode."
