Some critics said that it would've done better as a special that aired on Thanksgiving weekend. Others saying that although not being a Glee fan, they see what all the fuss is about. Many critics also commented on the overuse of Darren Criss over many of the series regulars.

The fans also have mixed reviews. Though many loved it, many were disappointed that Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) and Friday were omitted. I'm a Slave 4 U and Lea Michele received amazing reviews, as did Don't Rain on My Parade.
