Debra Yeo Toronto Star The show is such a wonderful platform for dance and young dancers, I'd like to see it hang on indefinitely. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Meredith Hoffa Entertainment Weekly This show still, like always, feels particularly fresh and clean and right and loving on the heels of the mind-numbing journey that is American Idol. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Oliver Sava AV Club While this wasn't the perfect season, the ends certainly justify the means. Rated: B Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred The show was hurt, badly, by the Olympics, for which it took a two-week break. That damaged its momentum, which was further wounded by the worst episode it's ever aired. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line This was the right pair to share [So You Think You Can Dance ] first dual crown. Viva the Hot Tamale Train! Viva ballet training! And viva the whole dang show! Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Jessica Isner Hollywood.com I think America ultimately made the right call here: They awarded the best dancer with the top honors.
