If there's one thing people should take away from this episode - other than the fact that Jennifer Lopez wasn't here to read cue cards and knew her lines from the jump... it's that Christmas carolers need to up their game.

Rated: B+

Matthew Love

New York Magazine/Vulture

Once again, Lopez comes at the material with an energy and zeal that really feeds the other players. There are pieces that don't hit, sure, but there are more than enough sketches that give Lopez room to invest.

Rated: 3/5

Rolling Stone

The best sketches this week celebrated her star power while still letting the Not Ready For Primetime Players have their moments as well.

Vanity Fair

Not a great episode - ugh, no thanks to Colin Jost's canned bemusement over Weekend Update"jokes like their dig at the maligned Peloton ad... But there were laughs to be had, like in the Barry's Boot Camp sketch.

TV Line

Jennifer Lopez had the unfortunate task of following Will Ferrell's well-received return to Saturday Night Live. To her credit, she more than held her own - even when the material wasn't quite up to par.
