Reception

13.009 million American viewers watched the episode's premiere.[9] In Australia, the episode brought in 465,000 viewers, ranking 29th for the night.[10] Chris Carabott of IGN gave the episode a positive review, saying "almost every scene in this episode contained some sort of surprise, development or unexpected twist" and praising the use of time travel.[11] Noel Murray of The A.V. Club graded the episode an A−, stating "'Jughead' went a lot more smoothly, because it was anchored to the one relationship on this show that has real gravitas: Desmond and Penny. I firmly believe that Desmond wants to keep Penny safe, and that any choices he makes to the contrary are made with great reluctance, and only because he’s answering to a higher calling. Desmond can talk about duty and time travel and be credible in a way most other Lost characters never can. And when Desmond’s providing the connective tissue in an episode as tightly plotted and straightforward as 'Jughead,' it helps a great deal."[12]
