The episode received generally positive reviews and, according to Nielsen ratings, was watched by 7.71 million viewers during its original broadcast.
Michael (Steve Carell) still has his lease on the closet he used as the office space for the Michael Scott Paper Company. Concerned that the office is still tense from the recent management by Dunder Mifflin vice president Charles Miner, Michael decides to convert the closet into a dance hall called Cafe Disco for his employees to socialize, drink coffee and dance. None of the employees care to join him, much to the disappointment of Michael, who plays music through the ventilation system to try tempting them to come.
