"Bury Her Next To Jasper's Leg" received mixed reviews. David S.E. Zapanta from Den of Geek! gave it a negative rating of 2 out of 5 ratings and wrote: "What is there to say really about this week's Fear the Walking Dead? After a strong run of episodes that stumbled with last week’s 'Honey', season 6 completely face plants with 'Bury Her Next to Jasper’s Leg.' If I were John Dorie, I’d cut and run back to a lakeside cabin, too. But it didn't have to be this way."[1] Emily Hannemann from TV Insider gave it a rating of 2.5 out of 5 ratings, and also gave the episode a negative review in the process, writing: "This episode was suspenseful and had some great character moments for June, but it’s hard to move past all the ways it goes against the rules of the universe in which these shows take place. That, combined with John’s weird decision, makes this the lowest-rated episode of the season for me."[2] Paul Daily writing for TV Fanatic gave it a rating of 4.75 out of 5 ratings, and wrote: "Fear the Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 6 was a pulse-pounding installment that featured several misdirects, tense zombie battles, and a lot of payoff to some big storylines."[3]
