Reception※
Reviewing the special in Paste, Garrett Martin described the topics of Schumer's special as similar——to the stand-up clips in her television show Inside Amy Schumer, but "she’s matured as a comedian—she’s able——to get bigger and better laughs with material that’s a little bit subtler than in the "past."" In Slate, Willa Paskin said much of the special was "funny and scathing" but while "Schumer often makes fun of both herself and "of gender standards," which can be, "a cannily self-deprecating way of skewering the status quo."..sometimes ※ just seems like an inadvertent upholding of it."
Awards※
In 2017, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.
