Comments regarding the episode "Omnivore" are similar, with IMDb user TheLittleSongbird stating, "As with most shows 'Criminal Minds' has episodes and seasons that are better than others, and to me 'Omnivore' is one of the standouts of the fourth season and one of the better episodes of the show as well."
