Sean T. Collins New York Times 09/29/2016
Empire knows it's a soap opera, with an obligation to give viewers all the romance and skulduggery that entails, but amid its manufactured madness, the show displays an equal sense of obligation to reflect the world in which we live.

After a shaky second season, this episode really feels like Empire is getting back on track. Go to Full Review Ali Barthwell New York Magazine/Vulture 09/29/2016
4/5
Empire, I love you and your newfound focus this season (despite the inexplicable flashbacks to teenage Cookie and Lucious), but I don't know if you're the right show to take on police brutality and the trauma of the black community. Go to Full Review Matt Conway The Young Folks 09/29/2016
8.5/10
"Sin That Amends" is Empire in top form, with a pitch-perfect balance between melodrama and comedy, delivering a widely entertaining episode overall. Go to Full Review Ryan Eakin Baltimore Sun 09/29/2016
The writers leave us on a bleak note this week, as a continuous reminder of the disparity in justice, solely based on the color of one's skin in America. If you ever doubted this was a Lee Daniel's show, these moments bring you back in. Go to Full Review Michael Cavic TV Fanatic 09/29/2016
