Erik Kain of ''[[Forbes]]'' opened his review stating: "The brilliance of ''South Park's'' latest special, ''Joining the Panderverse'', is in Matt Stone and Trey Parker's ability to skewer all sides of a fraught cultural debate." He repeatedly praised the efforts of the episode to criticize both "Disney's laziness and the general laziness of token diversity, overreliance on the multiverse and so forth while also taking jabs at the other side of the aisle and all the lazy anti-woke [[YouTube]]rs and fans who spend all their time complaining about diversity."{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2023/10/27/south-park-joining-the-panderverse-review---disney-satire-at-its-finest/|title='South Park: Joining The Panderverse' Review — Disney Satire At Its Finest|last=Kain|first=Erik|website=[[Forbes]]|language=en-US|url-status=live|date=October 27, 2023|access-date=November 8, 2023|archive-date=October 28, 2023|archive-url=https://archive.today/20231028173209/https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2023/10/27/south-park-joining-the-panderverse-review---disney-satire-at-its-finest/?sh=c826b92d1766}}
