It was always a given that Oliver wasn't going to die, but the revelation of Ra's al Ghul's true motives gives this episode a jarring plot twist and new information about the League's mythology.

It was a refreshing change of pace to take a step back from the League of Assassin antics we've been dealing with, and at times "The Offer" was reminiscent of some of the first season's better episodes. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 08/03/2018

More than anything, "The Offer" takes stock of where the characters now find themselves. Go to Full Review Jenny Raftery New York Magazine/Vulture 08/02/2018
4/5
I was disappointed that the first half of "The Offer" started to retread the same paths of self-doubt that were explored in the last six episodes. But luckily, the second half of "The Offer" had enough twists and turns to make up for it. Go to Full Review Constance Gibbs The Nerds of Color 04/07/2020
What was immediately fascinating about this episode is how the flashbacks were in Starling City and the present time was on Lian Yu, a cool contrast from seasons 1-2 where it was the reverse. Go to Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist 08/08/2018
Who'd have thought the Daughter of the Demon would have one of the best arcs in the episode? Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 08/08/2018
