Reviews

The A.V. Club gave it a "B": "None of these storylines is particularly inventive, and as the episode rolls on they go increasingly off the rails. With that said, many of the smaller moments hot the mark, and it’s enough to make “Catch Of The Day” fitfully rewarding.", giving particular praise to Haley's storyline.
