Reception
Chris Drake and Graeme Bassett write that "Model Spy"'s theme of undercover espionage and its Monte Carlo setting add up to a "Man from UNCLE-type episode" that represents a "break from the routine". Drake and Bassett also praise the technical work on display during the climactic car chase sequence, which features "under control" Supermarionation puppets controlled by levers from underneath as opposed to strings from above: there are "convincing antics from a couple of stringless puppets towards the end."

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
