Giving the episode a positive review, Aaron Roxby of Collider wrote that, even though he felt that the jokes about hippies were "a bit overplayed", he still considered it to be one of the best episodes of the season.<ref name="collider">{{cite web |url=http://collider.com/dvd/article.asp/aid/5412/tcid/3 |title=DVD Review β THE SIMPSONS - Season 10 |date=September 7, 2007 |access-date=April 20, 2011 |last=Roxby |first=Aaron |publisher=Collider}}</ref> James Plath of DVD Town thought fondly of the episode as well, calling it "funny".<ref name="dvdtown">{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdtown.com/review/simpsons-the-the-complete-10th-season/dvd/5056 |title=Simpsons, The: The Complete 10th Season (DVD) |date=August 17, 2007 |access-date=April 20, 2011 |last=Plath |first=James |publisher=DVD Town |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121205073416/http://moviemet.com/review/simpsons-complete-10th-season-dvd-review |archive-date=December 5, 2012 }}</ref> Writing for DVD Movie Guide, Colin Jacobson stated that, even though he feels the sixties have been lampooned "many, many times over the years", he considered "D'oh-in' in the Wind" to be a successful spoof of the era. He enjoyed the way the episode portrayed and mocked the ways aging hippies "didn't live up to their youthful ideas". He concluded his review by writing that "D'oh-in' in the Wind" is one of the first great episodes of the season.<ref name="DVDmg">{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdmg.com/simpsonsseasonten.shtml |title=The Simpsons: The Complete Tenth Season (1998) |date=August 20, 2007 |access-date=April 20, 2011 |last=Jacobson |first=Colin |publisher=DVD Movie Guide}}</ref> However, Jake McNeill of Digital Entertainment News did not enjoy the episode. Considering it to be one of the worst episodes of the season, he found the "jabs" at the hippie culture to be dated, writing that the episode is "a quarter century too late".<ref name="dignews">{{cite web|url=http://www.dignews.com/reviews/the-simpsons-season-10-review/ |title=The Simpsons: Season 10 |date=September 25, 2007 |access-date=April 20, 2011 |last=MacNeill |first=Jake |publisher=Digital Entertainment News |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928144150/http://www.dignews.com/reviews/the-simpsons-season-10-review/ |archive-date=September 28, 2011 }}</ref> [[Gary Russell]] and [[Gareth Roberts (writer)|Gareth Roberts]],<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=http://doctorwho.org.nz/archive/tsv51/garyrussell.html|title=Gary Russell: From Peladon to Placebos|author=Preddle, Jon|date=June 1997|magazine=Time Space Visualiser|issue=51|access-date=20 August 2020|publisher=The New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club|quote=I've just done my first non-fiction book, Oh No It's A Completely Unofficial Simpsons Guide for Virgin, co-authored with Gareth Roberts which has, to be frank, been more of a nightmare than it needed to be [the book was published as I Can't Believe It's An Unofficial Simpsons Guide, with Gary and Gareth writing under the pseudonyms Warren Martyn & Adrian Wood].}}</ref> of ''I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide'' were negative as well, calling the episode "dreadful". They wrote that, aside from a couple of references to sixties psychedelia and the hippie movement, the only significant part of the episode is the revelation of Homer's middle name. They concluded by writing that the episode is "humourless".<ref name="BBC">{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season10/page5.shtml |title=D'oh-in in the Wind |access-date=April 20, 2011 |last1=Martyn |first1=Warren |author-link1=Gary Russell |last2 = Wood |first2=Adrian |author-link2=Gareth Roberts (writer) |name-list-style=amp |publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref>
