Critics Consensus

Comedy may not come naturally to Kim Kardashian West, but her game attitude and posse of famous friends make for a diverting enough episode.

San Francisco Chronicle

As an exercise in public relations, it was the ultimate triumph for a woman often regarded as a punch line. But for a comedy show known for skewering the rich, famous and unworthy, it was a resounding belly flop.

Color me impressed. Kim is a bit bland, but she handled herself well for the most part! Not sure all the cameos were needed.

It speaks to how little confidence the show's writers and producers had in Kardashian West that they needed to bolster this episode with so many celebrity cameos and cute animals.

All in all, it was a very bad episode of SNL, but I'll give Kim Kardashian this: She was game, and she was open to making fun of herself and her family a lot.

All of that rehearsal time paid off for Kim... she trusted the SNL writers, and she read them all of their punchlines with aplomb!

The woman did something nobody thought she could and, because of her obvious efforts, didn't embarrass herself. I found myself rooting for her.
