Critical reception
TV Guide wrote, "Mystery programmer has a couple of good moments, but little else": whereas MysteryFile noted, "The detective work is very good, and the complicated plot holds together, but it’s the overall sense of good humor that really carries the day — not laugh out loud funny, but the mood is light enough to smile almost constantly."
