Critical reception

Sarah Little of TVFanatic enjoyed the episode praising its references to
Delia Harrington of Den of Geek rated the episode a 4/5 calling it a "nostalgia filled adventure". Harrington felt that Lyla saving herself cheapened the impact of the original Laurels death, but respected the shows decision to distinguish between the two Laurels. She was surprised by Lyla's betray of Oliver and John, and was excitedly anticipating the fall out. Harrington compared Roy's trauma healing via his team to Captain America traveling back in time to heal his trauma alone at the end of Avengers: Endgame.[9]
Micheal Patterson of WhatCulture enjoyed the episode and only had one major problem with it being the fact that the episode has characters accept big things quickly and not ask further questions. Patterson had several things he enjoyed about the episode including how past events in the show influenced the present, the return of Colton Hayes as Roy Harper, Oliver and Anatoly having a final goodbye, and the closing moments of the episode teasing the future.[5]
