Reception

[edit]

Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of 'A'.[17] Writing for Vulture, Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang rated the episode four out of five stars.[18] Allison Shoemaker included the episode in Consequence's 2018 "Essential Guide to Finally Starting RuPaul’s Drag Race", in which she complimented the performances by BenDeLaCreme and Kennedy Davenport.[19] Megan Reynolds of Jezebel said Kennedy Davenport delivered "perhaps the funniest perfomance in an acting challenge to date—second only to Ginger Minj's star turn with Trixie Mattel in Season 7's John Waters tribute".[20] Sam Brooks ranked the "Green Light" performance number 42 in The Spinoff's 2019 "definitive ranking" of 162 lip-sync contests on Drag Race to date, writing: "I think Ben’s performance is elegantly demented, and Kennedy’s approach to take on Lorde’s post-relationship melanbanger in character as an ageing Gloria Swanson-esque diva is inspired."[21] Bernardo Sim included the "Green Light" performance in Out magazine's 2025 list of the show's 30 best lip-syncs to date.[22] Sim also included "Fuck my drag, right?" in a 2025 list of the show's 32 "best and most hilarious memes".[14]
