Reception
"Double Blind" was seen by 17.56 million live viewers following its broadcast on May 7, 2013, with a 3.1/10 share among adults aged 18 to 49. A rating point represents one percent of the total number of television sets in American households, and a share means the percentage of television sets in use tuned to the program. In total viewers, "Double Blind" easily won NCIS and CBS the night. The spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles drew second and was seen by 13.18 million viewers. Compared to the last episode "Revenge", "Double Blind" was down in viewers and even in adults 18–49.
Douglas Wolfe from TV Fanatic gave the episode 4.8/5 and stated that " can be summed up in one word: loyalty. Or, if you like, four words: "I've got your back". Never has the family aspect of the NCIS team ever been more evident and on display, particularly in the face of a common enemy. The writers - through Parsons' activities - played NCIS fans like a flute in this episode."

“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
