 "The Man Who Grew Too Much" received a mixed-to-positive response from TV critics. The [http://www.avclub.com/ A.V Club] awarded the episode a B+ rating and highly praised Kelsey Grammer's voice-acting. They summed up, "the greatest reward of any Sideshow Bob episode is Kelsey Grammer who, some 24 years after his first appearance as the fright-wigged, intermittently homicidal, incongruously cultured Robert Underdunk Terwilliger, can make the character as vitally funny and menacing as ever. [...] Essentially, Bob's machinations bump this episode up an entire grade."<ref>[http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/simpsons-diggs-man-who-grew-too-much-201996 A.V Club review - Dennis Perkins - March 9, 2014: TV.Club - "The Simpsons: "The Man Who Grew Too Much"]</ref> Conversely, Teresa Lopez of [http://www.tvfanatic.com/ TV Fanatic] gave a somewhat mixed review. Although lauding the "heartwarming" parts of the episode and Marge's B-storyline, Lopez heavily criticized Bob's scheme as "mundane" and pointed out that Bob's devolution "into an out of control genetic monster [...] was silly even for him." The episode ultimately received a 3.6/5 star rating.<ref>[http://www.tvfanatic.com/2014/03/the-simpsons-review-doubly-dull-feature/ TV Fanatic review - Teresa Lopez - March 9, 2014 - "The Simpsons Review: Doubly Dull Feature"]</ref> [http://www.bubbleblabber.com/ Bubble Blabber] wrote, "It's hard to mess up a Sideshow Bob episode. This one wasn't anything to write home about (especially if you do so with your own blood, Sideshow Bob-style) but it didn't completely miss the mark either. Combining Bob with an episode that touched on political issues like GMOs and the teaching of abstinence could have been a bit too much, but they made it work" and awarded the episode an 8\10 rating. They also commended the reference to the now retired Edna Krabappel, concluding their review with, "Miss you, Marcia."<ref>[http://www.bubbleblabber.com/review-simpsons-man-grew-much/ Bubble Blabber review - Gonzo Green, March 10, 2014 - Review: The Simpsons "The Man Who Grew Too Much"]</ref>
