A solid episode... There's hope in these sketches, but no feelings of certainty.

LaToya Ferguson

IndieWire

Overall, this is a solid, safe first-time episode for Claire Foy... As for first-time musical guest Anderson .Paak., while the pairing seems strange on paper, both "SNL" newbies make a good first impression.

Rated: B

Zach Vasquez

Guardian

Regardless, [Foy's] subtle-but-strong turn as host, a handful of hilarious sketches and two dynamite performances from Paak made this the best episode of the season thus far, by far.

Yusef Roach

Paste Magazine

The host, Claire Foy of The Crown didn't make too much of an impact except for occasionally giving the writers a fun, posh British accent to work with.

Rated: 5.5/10

Cecily Strong especially was good, and she likely would have been the individual MVP if it wasn't for all of the fine comedians coming together in the end for the perfect holiday message.

It's also nice to see someone like Foy hosting SNL because, to be completely frank, she's not what Driver, Hill, Schreiber, Seth Meyers and Steve Carell are - a man.
