Critics Consensus

Though more of an expositional creep than previous episodes, "Piñata" maintains the season's emotionally charged character growth and provides a powerful, mildly petrifying performance from Giancarlo Esposito.

"Piñata" structures its narrative around Jimmy's hunger for the respect, adulation, and sense of accomplishment that lawyering was supposed to provide him.

"Piñata" reminds us that when creating compelling characters, as Mike would say, "We can't just keep 'em alive, we gotta keep 'em from climbing the walls."

Offers a valuable emotional counterweight to the steps Jimmy takes in the rest of the episode on the road from (hat tip to Jesse Pinkman) criminal lawyer to criminal lawyer.
