The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, who praised Waddingham's and Sudeikis' acting, therapy scenes and emotional tone.
To comfort her, Keeley (Juno Temple) and Sassy (Ellie Taylor) split a bottle of wine with her and express their suspicions that Rebecca is dating someone.
After the funeral, Rupert offers Rebecca his wife's shares in Richmond, which she accepts, and he briefly talks with Nate (Nick Mohammed) as he is leaving.
At the post-funeral gathering, Jamie (Phil Dunster) approaches Keeley and tells her that she is part of why he returned to Richmond and that he loves her, leaving her confused.
Club gave the episode a "B+" and wrote, "With the entirety of the team ditching their trainers for the occasion, and Sassy and Nora returning to the fold, 'No Weddings And A Funeral' uses its longer running time to deliver lots of small moments of joy, in addition to Rebecca's Rickroll eulogy serving as an emotional anchor for the funeral itself.
And while I do think that this much time spent away from the pitch reinforces the risks associated with Beard's detour last week, there's enough fuel in those small moments here to generate momentum, and hopefully bring us a step or two closer to pulling the season's various threads together.
What's clear here, though, is that the writers may have overreached on how some of these arcs are meant to converge, which is going to create some hurdles to bringing everything full circle by the time Richmond's do-or-die moment comes at season's end.
"[3] Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone wrote, "If Keeley does wind up seriously considering Jamie, then the Ted writers have not been doing a great job of setting that up so far.
"[6] Linda Holmes of NPR wrote, "It's not unusual for densely packed seasons full of stories to look a little like they're careening toward the finish line a little too fast and not entirely in control, and when that happens, they often bring it home just fine.
"[7] Christopher Orr of The New York Times wrote, "'No Weddings and a Funeral' — I won't lie, I think my headline is a better title — is, at 46 minutes, another lengthy episode.
The site wrote, "We're not saying Waddingham already has her second Emmy in the bag, but it's hard not to imagine the actress repeating her recent win after watching her triumphant turn in Episode 10 of the Apple TV+ comedy.
The outing allowed her to showcase all the different sides to her character as Rebecca navigated a sea of mixed emotions surrounding her secret fling with Sam and the sudden loss of her father.
