"Gray Star Mutual" received generally positive reviews from critics. LaToya Ferguson of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' gave the episode a "B−" grade and wrote, "'Gray Star Mutual' is the ''Brooklyn Nine-Nine'' episode to come after the one-two punch of a corporate conspiracy set on destroying Jake's (and Boyle's!) life and Jake's long-lost half-sister. So in a way, it makes sense for it to be a chill, cool down episode. But when you consider that this is also an episode with arson, Amy shopping for a wedding dress, and Captain Raymond Holt on Twitter, there's definitely an expectation for something bigger. Unfortunately, while those are all solid jumping off points, in execution, they're all mostly just that. There are set-ups for some really great plots in this episode, but for one reason or another, they don't get to live up to that greatness."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tv.avclub.com/after-a-double-feature-brooklyn-nine-nine-pulls-out-a-1825458669|title=After a double feature, Brooklyn Nine-Nine pulls out a strangely safe episode|last=Ferguson|first=LaToya|date=April 22, 2018|access-date=January 8, 2019|work=[[The A.V.
