Club gave the episode a "B" and wrote, "Had this been the note that Yellowjackets had concluded on, I would have had to have led the comments section in a protest march on because it's not the great crescendo we were hoping for, but does manage to set up some exciting new propositions for season two.
"[5] Kelly McClure of Vulture gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "The last 20 minutes of this finale shook me to such a degree that I haven't experienced since watching Midsommar for the first time.
"[7] Ben Travers of IndieWire wrote, "Beyond the well-paced twists and turns, the excellent performances, and the audacity of its storytelling, Yellowjackets keeps us hooked because the creators clearly care about these women.
If anything, the Yellowjackets team should take heart in the fact that its meticulous attention to detail made its relatively simple answers all the more satisfying — and left us starving for more.
