The website's critics consensus states, "Getting the band back together for one last haphazard race to the finish, The Umbrella Academy's fourth season rains on the series' parade a bit while still offering some sweet grace notes".
Surprise reveals, reversals of fate, and the looming threat of annihilation are fundamental to the Umbrella Academy experience, but all that is slightly constrained here" while also praising it for not having "filler episodes, and extraneous subplots that played like shallow video-game side quests", a problem he says previous seasons had.
