Critics Consensus

Though not every sketch plays, human ray of sunshine Chance the Rapper delights in a solid episode that leans into its host's silliness and even gets a few spooks in.

I've always found that Chance's unabashed homerism for Chicago hits me in unexpected ways. And as opening-monologues-as-songs go, I'll never object when the host is an actual musician.

Chance seemed to have a blast at every second, a genuine fan... It might not have taken a lot to make him break, but that's much better than seeing a host stare dead-eyed into the cue cards, praying for the sweet release of death.

As a comedic actor, the Rapper is not without some chops. But he's simply not well-suited to live comedy. That didn't stop SNL from having him back, so it's unlikely it'll keep him from hosting again in the future.

Powered by Chance the Rapper, tonight's show had no real duds, as Chance led the cast through a series of sketches where even if not every joke landed, general exuberance carried them through. That said, many jokes landed.

It's ironic that Chance the Rapper monologued about all the things that are second-best, because his second turn as host of Saturday Night Live was a vast improvement over his first.
