Critics Consensus

A more melancholy installment than the premiere, "The Homeliest Little Horse" recalls the flipside of what Atlanta does best: examining wayward characters with empathetic but unsentimental insight.

The cohesiveness that once catapulted this series to prominence... barely exists. All that’s left are the shards of what once was.

Rated: C

Atlanta's highs are higher once it's back on terra firma.

Alan Sepinwall

Rolling Stone

In all, “The Homeliest Little Horse” is a sadder and more introspective episode than the one preceding it, but the two combine to form a wonderful of sampler of many (but not all) of the things Atlanta can do.

Aric Jenkins

The Ringer

Sullivan Jones gives a terrific performance as Earn’s psychiatrist—a rare depiction of two Black men in a therapist-patient relationship—and the episode culminates with Atlanta at its best: a poignant blend of humor and melancholy.

Alex Maidy

JoBlo's Movie Network

Still, if these first episodes are any indicator, Atlanta will make viewers scratch their heads until the final end credits roll. So, rather than puzzle over why this series is the way it is, enjoy the ride and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Rated: 9/10

Melody McCune

Tell-Tale TV

Donald Glover’s performance in “The Homeliest Little Horse” is award-worthy. We see all the facets of Earn -- his signature, sharp-as-a-tack humor, searing vulnerability, and raw anger.

Rated: 4.5/5
