No, one extraordinary sketch doesn’t redeem the entire show, but it does reward us for spending the time watching. The gamble does pay off occasionally, as does watching cast members grow from peripheral newbies into stars.

New York Magazine/Vulture

This episode was not exactly a total knockout, but as Jon Hamm says in the cold open, “I’m gonna stick around and see what the hell this show is gonna be.”

NPR

Teller... was one of those hosts who tried to make up for a lack of comedic instinct with a game attitude and lots of energy. Which means he wasn't much help in rescuing an episode filled with an unusual number of mediocre bits.

Deadline Hollywood Daily

With a smorgasbord of greatest hits past and perhaps present, Saturday Night Live went successfully mega-meta tonight in the sometimes bubbling over cold open of its Season 48 debut.

Paste Magazine

Even as the initial enthusiasm stoked by the first three sketches waned pretty steadily throughout this first episode, Teller was right in there exhibiting all the game day spirit and presence anyone could have asked for.
