[the series'] final three episodes", giving the episode 4 stars out of 5. Awarding the episode a "B", Wesley Coburn of Bam! Smack! Pow! felt the episode "started slowly, but ramped up the action quotient and tension steadily while beginning to shift the characters into their places for the series finale." Syfy Wires Trent Moore felt including John Garrett into the season helped turn the "greatest hits" approach to the season "into one heck of a ride". He said, "Ending the series with this time travel adventure has been such an effective way to play in the sandbox this show has spent six amazing years creating. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the ride." Jamie Jirak from Comicbook.com felt James Paxton "could not have done a better job embodying his father" in the episode, adding he "perfectly captur[ed] the sly charm that made Garrett so much fun". Ahr also thought Paxton did a "spot-on impression" of his father, while Coburn called Paxton's mannerisms "spot-on". Christian Houlb of Entertainment Weekly was more critical of the episode, calling it "really lame" and was "disappointed at the level of weak sauce Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is supplying us in its final episodes." Houlb called Nathaniel Malick "really annoying" and did not have enough good qualities to justify being the primary villain of the final season, but compared to John Garrett, Malick was "a magnetic and compelling supervillain". Garrett for Houlb was "awful" given his "unbearable" dialogue that he was screaming "in the screechiest possible voice". Giving the episode a "C−", he concluded the series was "running on fumes" at this point. The other reviewers also took issue with Nathaniel Malick as the season's villain. McLevy felt either Thomas E. Sullivan's performance or how the show has not established the character as a threat resulted in a lack of "imposing malevolence necessary to make this showdown as monumental as it wants to be... It feels like a step down from the Chronicom plot we’ve been dealing with". Ahr called him "not a great Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. villain" as his love of anarchy "comes across as a very bland flavor of evil" and knowing the future "gives him an advantage that he doesn’t deserve, making his position of power in the narrative feel very much unearned."
