Reception
In a review from Zap2it, Hanh Nguyen welcome the comedic elements back to the show: "Ugly Betty gets past the grimness of Bradford's death to return to a more cheerful, wackier time. Alexis and Daniel get their sibling rivalry on, Betty and Henry go on a double date with Hilda and Gio and Wilhelmina tries to change her cutthroat image in order to woo investors. Oh yeah, and a Golden Girl!"
Betty White's performance in this episode also won over reviewers in "New York Magazine"("Golden Girl Gets It") and "The San Diego Union-Tribune"("AARP Smackdown").
At the same time, there was criticism over the product placement for "27 Dresses". This is the fourth time in the series that a brand name has been used, following Gucci ("Swag"), Victoria's Secret ("How Betty Got Her Grieve Back") and "Wicked" ("Something Wicked This Way Comes").

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“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.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
