The episode rating dropped significantly from the previous episode.

The "Fart-Break Hotel" was met with mixed responses from most television critics. Rowan Kaiser from The A.V. The Club writes, "There are some conceptual jokes that inspire a smile, such as a magical concierge, a Platonist, and some good lines but not far beyond that to save a weary premise." However, Kaiser made some positive comments on the episode opening scene. He went on to give episode C, scored lower than the Flaming Moe episode "The Simpsons", tying in with the The Cleveland Show episode "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Roberta?", And Bob's Burgers episode "Space Crawl", while printing higher than episode of Family Guy "And I'm Joyce Kinney". Jason Hughes from TV Squad also gave a slightly more positive review, continuing by complimenting side stories. He wrote, "The side story featuring Steve's journey back to 1981 is clever, if not too original.It seems to have elements of Hot Tub Time Machine and Back to the Future and maybe some of the others I do not remember, and culminate in the anticlimax of Steve being the model in the paintings he greatly admired. "However, he is more critical of the main plot, writes," The trip of Francine is also not very unique, and again strange to see Roger stands out as a voice of reason.It's like all the elements that make the Smith family they exchanged, and the show is not made better for it.
