and Enzo! Give in to your chemistry! Do it!) and the promise of some really cool mythology down the road about doppelgängers that we've never heard of before. This is why everyone loves spring break." Alyse Wax of Fearnet also gave a good review to the episode stating: "Finally, we are back to some good times in Mystic Falls. [...] I like where we are going. We have some more doppelgänger drama - but this time with Stefan’s doppelganger. We have a new faux-ally who is plotting a downfall. I like that the set up with Liv and Luke was slow; they were around for a bunch of episodes and their "turn" felt more natural." Caroline Preece from Den of Geek also gave a good review to the episode saying that it gave the fans something to get excited about. "The episode leaves us in a promising place, then, and I’m excited to see where it’s going for the first time in a long time. Crucially, though, that has nothing to do with the main trio, and everything to do with the new additions. Enzo, Liv and Luke – welcome to the family." Stephanie Hall from KSiteTV gave a good review to the episode saying that it was interesting, but not necessarily exciting. "What it lacked in intensity and grand shock value, it made up for in the subtle ways in which it reimagined topics that we have become familiar with over the past several years. Overall, "While You Were Sleeping" was an average episode, filled with a mix of what the series does well and what it has struggled with, especially this season." Shannon Vestal of Buzzsugar said that the episode was good because it introduced us to another new character and the next potential drama. "I love it and want to find out more about these mysterious foes, especially if it means we don't have to deal with the Travelers anymore."
