Not everything in the episode works necessarily, but it's still a fairly compelling hour that sees the return of one of the show's best assets: Manu Bennett's Slade. Go to Full Review Allison Shoemaker AV Club 08/06/2018

When Arrow's flashback stories work, it's because the events of the past are directly tied to the present - not because of events of the plot, but because of the inner lives of the characters. Go to Full Review Ade Adeniji The Tracking Board 08/28/2018

Not only are we treated to an Ollie-Deathstroke pairing but all the flashbacks are related to Slade's time on the island years ago with his son. Cool. But I also found myself sort of lost as far as where Arrow is going in its sixth season. Go to Full Review Amelia Emberwing Birth.Movies.Death. 08/06/2018
An eye roll worthy plot at best...Yet, here we are, and the writers have to find an interesting way to get us out of it without causing an annoying level of drama... Go to Full Review Andy Behbakht TV Fanatic 08/06/2018
