Rock, Paper, Shotgun describes the early pages of the webcomic as crass and overly reliant on sexual humor, but worth pushing through it to reach quality moments and expressive artwork. The Vector describes the comic as having a rocky road early on, but with a story that flows well between its comedy and drama, and with art that ranges from good to amazing.
