What to Know

Critics Consensus

Enjoyment of Rick and Morty's stint as songwriters will depend on how viewers feel about getting "Schwifty," but this installment's half-baked premise is elevated by the smooth vocal presence of Keith David's President of the United States.

It's just more of a placeholder than anything else, and after the highs of the first few episodes this season, it's probably more of a let down than it ought to be. Go to Full Review Chris Moore Tulsa World 02/16/2019
Rick and Morty perhaps hit a low-point with their adventure this week. The singing competition was rather bland and even the B storyline tied to it caused some inconsistencies. Go to Full Review Evan Macy Metro 02/15/2019
The song is really annoying, but the gags are fantastic. Go to Full Review Sean Fitz-Gerald and Eric Vilas-Boas Thrillist 02/15/2019
Rick and Morty end up improvising two so-bad-they're-amazing songs... while scribe Tom Kauffman also skewers the blind faith of organized religions and gifts rapper-actor Ice-T with an extraordinary (but understandable) superpower. Go to Full Review Adam Chitwood Collider 02/14/2019
Bolstered by a subplot involving Jerry, Beth, Summer and other townspeople mistaking the giant alien heads for new gods, and while this story probably could've been improved by taking the lead in an episode, it's enjoyable enough. Go to Full Review Vrai Kaiser The Mary Sue 09/19/2017
This episode was a solid, welcome breather before we dive headlong into the back half of the season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
