Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 08/07/2018
While the A.R.G.U.S. plotline felt rushed and rather underwhelming, the episode took its time developing Laurel's subplot, which was both compelling and poignant. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 08/02/2018

There's enough meat in the episode-specific story for this to work as an hour of television, but none of the serialized plot threads have moved far enough that they feel like vital parts of the show's overarching narrative. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 08/08/2018
7.7/10
"Corto Maltese" offered a nice change of pace as it shifted the setting to the titular island nation. Unfortunately, this episode didn't focus directly on Thea and Malcolm as much as it could have. Go to Full Review Esther Inglis-Arkell io9.com 08/07/2018
In "Corto Maltese," we finally see a key character in the Arrow universe revealed for who they really are, even though they're never on screen. And it's so very satisfying. Go to Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy 08/07/2018
'Corto Maltese' was promoted as Thea's big comeback, and while we do delve into her relationships with Oliver, Roy and Malcolm, this is also a strong ensemble episode, granting almost every Arrow regular a satisfying sub-plot. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 08/06/2018
The women of Arrow were in a punchy mood this Wednesday, as we saw the lengths to which Malcolm went "temper" his daughter and Laurel got a bit overzealous in doing right by dead Sara's leather jacket. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
