Critical Reception

Reception

Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+, saying “It Snakes A Village” is, like Bob's behavior, effective and sweet. It's builds the main characters a bit while widening its base to include Linda's parents as more than simple antagonists. Nothing special, but they can't all be special." Dyanamaria Leifsson of TV Equals said "Although there were plenty of lines in tonight’s Bob’s Burgers that made me chuckle, “It Snakes a Village” was one of the weaker episodes of this season. The Belchers will be the Belchers no matter where they travel, but pulling Bob and his family away from the restaurant and their hometown for an entire episode just didn’t seem as fun as what we usually get when they’re dealing with the daily grind." John Blabber of Bubbleblabber gave the episode a 9 out of 10 saying, "This might be one of the more edgy episodes of Bob’s Burgers we have seen in quite some time. Typically, the show rates at a TV-PG so if you were a family out there getting ready to watch the show, you parents might have had some awkward questions to answer. For the rest of us, we get an old people sex party plot that was actually pulled off rather well. As a matter of fact, I thought it was hilarious that no matter how bad old people sex sounds, that living with your in-laws is way worse.
