Rolling Stone

With Adam Sandler returning to SNL, the show got a unique chance to honor its past while also giving prime comedic real estate to its existing cast.

Verne Gay

Newsday

In easily the most memorable SNL of the season if for no other reason that it was built almost entirely on indelible memories, [Adam] Sandler and cast reprised voices and characters while a handful of former, also beloved, cast members turned up too.

Matthew Love

New York Magazine/Vulture

Many of the sketches play right to [Adam] Sandler's strengths, and just like in 100% Fresh, he lends a world-weary vulnerability and sense of ease in his own skin to many moments.

Paste Magazine

Tonight gave us tastes of nostalgia, silliness, and darkness all while finding time to pay tribute to one of its brightest lights.

Rated: 8.0/10

Slashfilm

The expectations were high, and while the Sandman was back to his usual self, the overall show took some time to gain steam. Thankfully, it ended with a bang and even some tears.

Decider

[It was] an episode that had the potential to wallow in nostalgia, but instead was one of the funnier, fresher episodes of the season.
