Foster praised the introduction of Lemongrab, writing that the episode "reveals a number of weird and sometimes paralyzingly funny quirks about the truly bizarre Earl of Lemongrab". Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club named "Too Young" as one of the ten additional episodes of the series that illustrates that "emotional complexity" lies "beneath Adventure Times weirdness".

In L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, a survey of Hubbard's literary career, Marco Frenschkowski of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz described the Mission Earth series: :The satire is not humorous, but biting and harsh, which makes the novels not easy to read. Also Hubbard somehow had lost contact with developing narrative techniques: he writes exactly as he had done 40 years earlier.
