with deadly subroutines rather than, you know, BOMBS?" She thought the characterisation was forced, and wanted a better resolution to the events in "Affliction" which she had called "one of the greatest hours of Star Trek ever". Jamahl Epsicokhan on his website Jammer's Reviews, gave the episode a score of two out of four, saying that the battle scenes were "painfully routine" and that where the episode "runs off the rails is in these final 10 minutes". He felt that it was a pattern of the final episodes in story arcs not having a "satisfying finish" and that "Divergence" followed in this pattern set by "The Augments" and "The Aenar". The two part story in "Affliction" and "Divergence" were subsequently ranked the fifth best story of Enterprise by Den of Geek writer James Hunt. In a 2015 interview with some of the show's cast with SyFy, this episode was a recommended favorite of theirs.
