Rolling Stone

The fact that the season went out with something of a whimper is a function of the show's creative DNA rather than a failure to sum up the narrative themes of the season.

Newsday

In late middle age, SNL remains a work in progress, which I suppose is part of its infuriating charm.

Matthew Love

New York Magazine/Vulture

Though there aren't any memorable sketches to set [Paul] Rudd's hosting gig apart from his others, there really aren't any clunkers, either. It's just in Rudd's genes: He is reliably funny.

Rated: 3/5

Slashfilm

While the lack of surprise guests, especially for a season finale, was a bit of a disappointment, the episode as a whole was still immensely satisfying.

Paste Magazine

Paul Rudd returns for his fourth time hosting the show, bringing the same unstoppable charm that's kept him on the big screen for three decades.

Rated: 7.0

Pajiba

[Paul] Rudd does his monologue as a Best Man's speech, and he accomplishes exactly what a Best Man speech should: It's a little funny, a little bit from the heart, it's short, and it stands out of the way for the main event.
