Reception

edit

As of October 2019, "Pat's Secret" is the sixth highest-rated Raymond episode on IMDb with a rating of 8.6/10.[1] Critics at Variety ranked it the second-best episode of any comedy series of the 2004–05 TV season.[2] Summarized Screen Rant, "The stakes continually build throughout the episode and the subtle absurdity of it all makes this one comedy gold. It's always great to see such a strong episode so late in a series."[1]
