Jackson McHenry Entertainment Weekly 03/05/2015
As much fun as it is to watch Empire pull out all the stops (and then throw in a few songs for good measure), the show runs the risk of going too quickly. Go to Full Review Craig D. Lindsey New York Magazine/Vulture 03/05/2015
3/5
For all its tonal seesawing, Empire once again showed, like it did in "False Imposition," that it works best when the family bands together for the greater good. Go to Full Review Rightor Doyle Observer 03/05/2015
I blame the show's insatiable need for drama at the cost of any investment in its people. I think Empire is better than this. Go to Full Review Whitney Evans TV Fanatic 03/05/2015
4/5
This was another week heavy on the emotions and it's really setting us up nicely for the final two episodes. Go to Full Review Robert Ham Paste Magazine 03/05/2015
8.7/10
The feeling that Empire has done a great job of driving home from the start, though, is that particularly complicated sensation that allows us to still receive so much joy from a piece of art, even when we know of the awful deeds done by the artists. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
