Beyond the humor, the visuals are quite impressive, and varied." He went on to say that, "'Now Museum, Now You Don't' works as a variety show, even though it follows through on one concept. It’s not a side-splitting episode, but the segments allow it to be a varied one. All three segments were well produced, funny and had enough historical trivia to keep it clever."
