Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone 04/15/2022
It’s a dark comic payoff to another singular episode of this show -- an episode that is also even funnier the second time than the first. Al may be worried that he’s lost it; Atlanta certainly hasn’t. Go to Full Review Michael Martin AV Club 04/15/2022
B+
What follows is a more conventional comic plot than what we’ve seen in this season so far... but it still goes to the weird, deadpan places we’ve come to expect from the show. Go to Full Review Jordan Taliha McDonald New York Magazine/Vulture 04/15/2022
4/5
Genuine connection is evading Earn at every step, and to uncover the source of this absence, he will have to embark on yet another quest for answers, an interrogation of the self. Go to Full Review Khal Davenport The Ringer 11/16/2022
The episode doesn’t leave as strong of a mark among Season 3, and the series in general. Great goose chase, though. Go to Full Review Brian Richards Pajiba 04/18/2022
["Cancer Attack"] takes something as simple as the search for a lost cell phone and turns it into a darkly humorous tale that constantly leaves the viewer wondering/fearing what’s around the corner and what could possibly come next. Go to Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment 04/15/2022
For all the gags featured this week, particularly in the front half of the episode, this is still a series that wants to put a lot on the minds of the viewer. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
