The story is centered around a robot head in a junkyard seeking a body, described as both cute and touching, though opinions on its execution vary widely. Some reviewers found it engaging and well-told, while others criticized it for being vague, overly simplistic, or lacking depth, often comparing it unfavorably to more developed narratives like "Wall-E." Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with some appreciating its charm and others feeling it falls short of delivering a coherent or satisfying experience.
- “Was a short and touching story.”
- “Rating 6/10 a story about a severed robot in a junkyard finding redemption ... that's gold, Jerry!”

- “Unfortunately, a passive experience lives and dies on the contents of the story, and it is impossible to not compare this to Wall-E, a bar that this animation is in no way capable of living up to.”
