Critical reception

Donna Bowman of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A− rating.[1][why?]

Max Nicholson of IGN gave the episode a 7.0/10 rating claiming it "included a funny and sweet subplot for Ted and Lily, and not much else."[2]

Popculturology's Bill Kuchman said, "Between last week's episodes and "Last Time in New York," Season 9 of HIMYM has felt less than a tight storyline and more like a series of

heartstring-tugging closing scenes. ... This week's episode wrapped up with one of my favorite Lily moments in a long time."[3]
