The first part of this "Arrow" season has really meandered, so this episode gave some much needed momentum that will hopefully carry through to the mid-season finale next week. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 08/07/2018
"The Brave and the Bold" tries to service Oliver's identity issues and character development, but it ends up doing a lot more for the away team. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx 08/07/2018
The presence of Barry, Caitlin and, especially, Cisco brought a level of lightness that's a rare occurrence on Arrow, and a welcome one here. Go to Full Review Constance Gibbs The Nerds of Color 04/07/2020
