Brian Tallerico of New York Magazine rated the episode 4 out of 5 stars, while commenting on the general tone: "There’s a world-weariness to the start of this season of Homeland befitting the final run of a show about the current state of the tired world... It’s a nice tone to use for the final season, although it could get a little wearying for viewers if it holds too long".
