Newsday

A triumphant Eddie Murphy returned to "Saturday Night Live" Saturday after half a lifetime, with little rust to show for such a long absence. Not that a little would have mattered anyway.

The Atlantic

Yet still Murphy managed to find a real spin on his characters and demonstrate the live-wire charm that made him a star in the first place. It was a crucial element for a night that felt like a perfect reunion.

AV Club

This was Eddie Murphy hosting a season 45 episode of Saturday Night Live. But that's still an event, and, in practice, mostly a delight.

Rated: B+

Rob Harvilla

The Ringer

After three decades away from the show that he saved in the 1980s, the comic played the hits and gave 'SNL' some much-needed edge.

Vanity Fair

From start to finish, [Murphy] was smooth, game, and 100% cool-his old characters as welcome as his fresh sketches.

The result was not only the best episode of the season, but one of the best episodes in recent memory.
