All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), one of the first American films to portray the horrors of World War I, received great praise from the public for its humanitarian, anti-war message. The most gripping news story of the pre- Code era was the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby on the evening of 1 March 1932. As the child was already enormously famous before the kidnapping, the event created a media circus, with news coverage more intense than anything since World War I. Newsreels featuring family photos of the child (the first time private pictures had been "conscripted for public service"Doherty, pp. 218–219.) asked spectators to report any sight of him.

Benji Wilson of The Daily Telegraph rated the episode three and a half out of five, stating "there was so little solid ground to stand on that things started getting a little Electric Kool-Aid", though "normality returned with the death of Ruth". Wilson also praised Walker's performance. Tom Sutcliff of The Independent stated "Spooks has often relished the pleasure of a good explosion in the past, but it declined to go out on one", adding "instead, almost wistfully, it added one last victim to its long roster of in-house sacrifices".

"Out of Control" is one of Jones' most gripping songs about alcoholism. Written by the singer along with Darrell Edwards and Herbie Treece, its evocative lyrics paint a dismal portrait of a man drinking himself into oblivion, with the narrator identifying himself as "just like that fellow." Like his earlier hit "Just One More", the song is an early example of the sad, cry-in-your-beer honky-tonk lament that Jones would become famous for, but "Out of Control" explores the theme with far more nuance: ::He sits down at a table ::With his hands on a glass ::For him there's no future ::There's only the past ::He reaches for the bottle ::But his hands don't take hold ::His eyes just can't focus ::He's out of control. Supported by a subtle steel guitar and barroom piano, the character's condition in the song continues to deteriorate, with Jones singing with an almost detached kind of sincerity: ::He shakes and he trembles ::Even though he's not old ::Like a leaf in a whirlwind ::He's out of control.
