"The Day Fuckers" received mixed reviews from critics. Ahsan Haque of IGN gave the episode a "good" 8.9 out of 10 and wrote, "From start to finish, this episode was not only thoroughly entertaining, but managed to deliver some of the funniest moments of the season. The visuals of Drama having sex in the bunny suit, or Ari doing another one of his crazy victory dances outside of Preston's home were truly hilarious. It was nice to get a break from the "Medellin" story arc to enjoy a simple, fun episode. Most filler episodes often lack substance, but "The Day ****ers" manages to truly stand on its own as one of the better episodes of the year."^[4]

Alan Sepinwall wrote, "This wasn't Worst. Episode. Ever. territory like, say, the trans hooker episode, but I'm just not feeling this show at all anymore."^[5] Adam Sternbergh of Vulture wrote, "All this, and an episode that's 100 percent Billy Walsh free. Maybe this show deserves seven Emmy nominations after all."^[6] Trish Wethman of TV Guide wrote, "Ari's signature victory dance was hard-won tonight, but we've probably not seen the last of this particular drama."^[7]

Paul Katz of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "I will say this was easily the best outing so far this season for the dynamic duo of Drama and Turtle. If only Entourage could find the perfect balance between plot and comic relief."^[8] Jonathan Toomey of TV Squad wrote, "I'm not sure what they were thinking with this episode. It's not that it was bad. I thought it was great - some funny moments and some loose ends tied up. It was sort of like the Vegas episode. Looking at the big picture, it doesn't have much impact on the season but it still provided a nice departure from everything else that's going on. I guess it just goes to show that Entourage can pull off something like this more than once."^[9]

Jeremy Piven submitted this episode to support his nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.^[10] He would win the award, marking his third win in a row for the series.^[11]
