Critical reception
'Nerdist' commented that the song was "perhaps the most bizarre comedic counterweight" of the episode, and added that "the minimal R&B-leaning song is actually pretty fun musically, like a ridiculous mix of Vulfpeck, Mac DeMarco, and 'Midnite Vultures' era Beck. The main draw, though, are the lyrics, which are almost exclusively about grabbing 'Terry fold flaps,' 'flappy folds,' 'foldy flaps,' and other variations on the theme." 'Vulture' called the song "semi-sweet, questionable, and strangely soothing."

Roiland had posted tweets expressing his hope for the song to chart and gain radio airplay.
