 Fan reaction was more positive, but still mixed. On [http://www.nohomers.net/forum.php No Homers], the episode holds a 3/5 majority rating on a fan poll. Some fans criticized the episode for "crudely mashing a bunch of uninteresting subplots together," while others noted the episode contained "some good jokes." The Hobbit couch-gag was lauded and the tribute to late Marcia Wallace was deemed "touching."<ref>[http://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?102846-R-amp-R-Four-Regrettings-and-a-Funeral NoHomers.net - Forum - R&R Four Regrettings and a Funeral]</ref>
