Jason Evans Wall Street Journal 02/07/2019
While the ending of the episode presents something interesting, this was mostly a dull hour. Go to Full Review Carrie Raisler AV Club 07/31/2018
A-
There's a sense of swagger here, of the show radiating a genuine, winning confidence. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/30/2018

The more personal story of Oliver's identity that this episode elects to focus on means that "Identity" is largely successful, but it's likely not possible to fully judge this story until we see just where all this is headed. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
It doesn't matter that "Identity" failed to subvert this particular superhero narrative, because its execution of that narrative, and the rest of the episode as a whole, was very good. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 08/07/2018
'Identity' makes it clear in several different ways that, although his quest is essentially a morally principled one, Oliver Queen has more than just the blood of evil doers on his hands. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/03/2018
All in all, we dug the duality of tonight's "Identity"...though the episode itself ironically could have done with a stronger sense of its own identity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
