review stated that the "main players are really good" and that the character Trey Jordan (Bishop) is "hilarious". New York
magazine commented "it's actually disturbing how true to the show this thing is. ... Someone out there in porn-making land has actually done their 30 Rock homework".
Commenting on her character, Ashlynn Brooke stated "My personality is kind of close to hers, humor-wise". Lisa Ann remarked "I’m a huge Tina Fey fan, so playing her in 30 Rock was incredible. ... These roles have been the most fun I’ve had in my career, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!".
