for the Knight Ridder newspapers said that the first half fell flat on promises made to rejuvenate the series, adding that "Storm Front" represented "a confusing premise, flat production and recycled stories." Jamahl Epsicokhan, at his website Jammer's Reviews, gave both parts two and a half out of four stars. He wrote that the episode "inherits so much nonsensical time-travel baggage from previous episodes (including last season's final 60 seconds) that the premise is all but indefensible" and ultimately the episode "breaks down the entire temporal war (at least I think it does) to a single battle in Earth's past, that revolves around a single sci-fi MacGuffin: Vosk's conduit that the Nazis are constructing for him." Michelle Erica Green of TrekNation, described the first part as "thoroughly entertaining" but was uneasy that the series was producing something so "irrelevant". Green found the episodes were a refreshing change from the Xindi arc in the third season. She said that the second part inherited the same issues from past episodes, but that the opening was strong with the fake newsreel footage of Adolf Hitler arriving in New York City. She didn't like that the Temporal Cold War storyline ended without any clear resolution, and the lack of character moments in the episode. KJB of IGN gave the first half 3 out of ten, adding that the first episode suffered from a lack of pace, and described it as "awful". The second episode was rated four out of ten and called "thin on plot", but Coto was praised for killing off "long term pain" Silik, adding that the Suliban were "still the worst aliens ever created for the Trek franchise". KJB closed on a hope that "With some of the conceptual flotsam flushed away, Coto may actually have a chance to give Enterprise a decent final run before its inevitable and grisly end." In 2014, Jordan Hoffman writing for Playboy.com ranked this episode 470 out of 695 Star Trek episodes, and said the Temporal Cold War storyline was worn-out and "This all feels like a step backward." In 2018, CBR rated "Storm Front" as the 17th best multi-part episode of Star Trek. They also ranked this fifteenth of the top twenty time travel themed episodes of all Star Trek series.
