Reception
editReviewing the stripped-down production, Maren McGlashan of Paste Magazine stated, "The focus is on the material, plain and simple." McGlashan wrote, "Burr’s onstage persona is sharp, unwavering and nearly arrogant. This attitude defines him as a comic, and is even evident in the special’s title. Make no mistake, Burr’s concern for your feelings is anything but authentic."[3]
Tripp Stelnicki of Vox Magazine noted Burr kept the same energy of his previous routines, with a more grown-up theme. "Burr has mentioned his fear of becoming the creepy old single dude who rants to strangers at the bar in previous specials. He seems to have reckoned with that and settled down some, and fortunately his material maintains its zealous vibe while reflecting a somewhat more-adult Bill Burr."[4]
