follow and ... all victories come at a cost", and that it is a fan favorite episode for good reason. Likewise, Den of Geek reviewer James Hunt praised the episode for finding the human stakes in the story, elevating it above standard science fiction time travel stories. Critic Marc Bernardin described the episode as Star Treks "smartest time-travel experiment" and a fan favorite. Time Magazine rated "Yesterday's Enterprise" as one of the top ten moments of Star Trek, including television series and films up to that time. They note the work of multiple writers on this episode, which they remark "polished the episode into a taut, unpredictable thriller with an exhilarating complement of phasers and photon torpedoes." The Toronto Star listed The Next Generations time-shifting episodes, including "Yesterday's Enterprise", as one of the twenty best elements of the show, with Comic Book Resources ranking the episode the second-best time-travel episode in all of Star Trek. Fans attending the Star Trek 50th Anniversary convention in 2015 voted "Yesterday's Enterprise" the fifth-best episode of the franchise. The episode ranked as one of The Next Generations top episodes in lists by Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, and Nerdist, and as one of the best episodes of all of Star Trek by Empire, IGN, and TV Guide. The episode is a favorite and influence to John Logan and Roberto Orci, writers for the film Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) and the reboot Star Trek (2009), respectively. In a 2018 Io9 ranking, the Enterprise C from this episode was regarded as the 4th best of 11 Enterprise designs in the Star Trek franchise, ahead of the Enterprise D: "It’s almost a shame this wasn’t the Enterprise of the show and the D was the one-off design."
