Critical reviews
"AC/DC" received generally positive reviews from critics. Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B" grade and wrote, "While 'AC/DC' isn't the best of said season, it's still a very useful episode to re-enter the world after a month and a half-long absence."[3] Allie Pape from Vulture gave the show a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "That was one hell of a plot carrot for B99 to dangle and then immediately snatch away, all the more so because we're getting to the end of the show's second season, and aside from Terry having a third baby and Boyle and Gina's parents getting hitched, literally nothing has changed for any of the show's core cast."[4]
Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Having said that, this was another very funny episode, and with a nice balance of styles."[5] Andy Crump of Paste gave the episode a 9.3 rating and wrote, "In context with its sitcom trappings, 'AC/DC' satisfies in grand fashion. We can't ask for more than that."[6]
