Club" gave the episode a C+ rating, opening his review with the comment "Over the past year, "South Park" has often bitten off more than it can chew when it comes to current events. Tonight's episode takes on the fear of sexual harassment allegations in the workplace, Netflix's endless greenlighting of new series, the threat of nuclear war, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. And surprise, surprise, it's as unfocused and exhausting as it sounds." Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave the episode a 7.7 out of 10 rating , summarizing in his review "'Super Hard PCness' is definitely a case where the plot could have used a little more time to cook. The various plot threads in this episode don't come together as a cohesive whole. Even so, the pieces are generally entertaining enough on their own." David Crow of Den of Geek gave the episode a 3 out of 5 stars rating, stating in his review "Overall, it's a fun episode that has a literally explosive finale, however it is on the whole akin to the opening self-deprecation. As with Terrance and Phillip farting on  a cow, the show is really missing a step nowadays, and self-aware irony can only paper over this truth so much."
