Mary McNamara from the Los Angeles Times commented, "The two seemed to be following the directive to "first do no harm," as if they knew they couldn't score as big as Jimmy Fallon did with the Emmy Awards, but were determined to avoid becoming morning show fodder like Ricky Gervais was after this year's Golden Globes.
Mary McNamara dari Los Angeles Times menyatakan, "Keduanya tampak mengikuti pengarahan untuk "mula-mula tak mencederai," seperti halnya jika mereka mengetahui bahwa mereka tak dapat meraih skor sebesar yang Jimmy Fallon raih dengan Emmy Awards, namun diputuskan untuk menghindari suasana acara pagi seperti Ricky Gervais setelah Golden Globe tahun ini.
