As is typical for most ''SFTBH'' songs, "Oh Jonas" is viewed positively by many Weezer fans. Although it is a bare, short song, the melody is praised by fans. The pitch-shift that Cuomo used is often spoken of humorously by fans, as seen in the positive review it received from [[Teenage Victory Songs]]. | As is typical for most ''SFTBH'' songs, "Oh Jonas" is viewed positively by many Weezer fans.
