Nerdist commented that the song was "perhaps the most bizarre comedic counterweight" of the episode, and added that "the minimal R&B-leaning song is actually pretty fun musically, like a ridiculous mix of Vulfpeck, Mac DeMarco, and Midnite Vultures era Beck. The main draw, though, are the lyrics, which are almost exclusively about grabbing 'Terry fold flaps,' 'flappy folds,' 'foldy flaps,' and other variations on the theme."[2]Vulture called the song "semi-sweet, questionable, and strangely soothing."[3]
Roiland had posted tweets expressing his hope for the song to chart and gain radio airplay.[1][3] The song debuted at #1 on the Comedy Digital Song Sales chart dated September 16, 2017, after a sum of 2,000 downloads.[4][5] According to Nielsen Music, the song accumulated 1.1 million U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads in the week ending September 7, 2017.[4] As a result, the song debuted at #33 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart dated September 23, 2017.[4][6]
