I enjoyed this episode as it gives Ethan Peck the opportunity to break out of his usual Vulcan corset. The episode is very funny with a lot of situational comedy. Not every joke is great but most of them made me laugh or smile. The episode also ends the will-they, won't-they state in the relationship between Chapel and Spock that has been a long time coming.
Yet, although I liked the comedy in this one, I'm beginning to worry a bit about the tone of the show more generally. There have been quite a few over-the-top episodes with the focus on humor so far (Spock Amok, The Serene Squall, The Elysian Kingdom). It's important for the show not to develop into a full parody of Star Trek as this is what The Orville and Lower Decks are already doing.
