Critics Consensus

A disjointed season yields a clunky climax, but "The Return" concludes this particular saga on a high enough note while also promising a fresh start for The Mandalorian going forward.

Consequence

It’s hard to imagine a happier ending for the character, and perhaps that’s where we’ll leave him, barring future cameos. It might not be the best choice for theme park tie-ins or merchandise sales… but sometimes, it’s good for stories to end.

The third season sure did drag us through a whole lot of trinkets to get us to this point, the effect of which was to shortchange the live-action development of Bo-Katan's mythology, and that's a shame.

Episode 8 of season 3 of The Mandalorian ends the season on a surprisingly definitive high note, by returning to what made the show good in the first place.

... An impressive episode that has closed a chapter in the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

CBR

It ends without bothering to resolve much of the thematic work that dominated this season, instead spending its final minutes moving characters around on a narrative chessboard, undoing or undermining prior developments, or just resetting altogether...
