It made for a fun episode, that's for sure. Much better than the ones that largely focus on the meaningless bad guy of the week! Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/31/2018
A
This episode is Arrow at its most confident, and with such confidence comes exuberance, a willingness to try anything in pursuit of the best possible story. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 02/07/2019
4/5
Manu Bennett brings something formidable, equal parts charm and menace, to Slade Wilson, and he's genuinely chilling in the scene where he kills the captain of the Amazo. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
It's with some sense of relief, then, that I can say that "The Promise" was a much better episode than "The Odyssey," on both a character level and on an action level. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/03/2018
"The Promise" at least lives up to its namesake of ensuring the latter half of 'Arrow''s second season will prove just as explosive and incredible as the events that brought (and continue to bring) us there. Go to Full Review Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine 08/02/2018
9.1/10
It was only a matter of time before an Island flashback took up a majority of an episode's screen time, and "The Promise" sees that idea come to fruition. The result is one of the best episodes of the whole series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
