What to Know

Critics Consensus

The endlessly put-upon Jerry is given the spotlight -- and characteristically chokes under the scrutiny -- during an interstellar vacation that comedically benefits from the friction between him and Rick, culminating in a melding of the minds that marks another animation highpoint for the series.

5/5
Watching Rick and Jerry together, it's apparent just how far Rick and Morty has come. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 09/14/2017
A-
It may not have Pickle Rick, but a brush with the consequences of an immortality planet has the show back to doing what it does best. Go to Full Review Jack Shepherd Independent (UK) 09/13/2017
Whilst the weekly spoofs of various action genres have been fun, there's something truly brilliant when all five members of the Smith's are on screen. Finger's crossed, for Jerry's sake, they all get back together soon. Go to Full Review Evan Macy Metro 02/15/2019
The B plot about Summer... didn't work and the Rick and Jerry dynamic has never been interesting, aside from Rick's put downs. Go to Full Review Sean Fitz-Gerald and Eric Vilas-Boas Thrillist 02/15/2019
As fun as it is to watch the show mercilessly dunk on Jerry, this episode proves just how much of a secret weapon he actually is. Go to Full Review Liam Hoofe Flickering Myth 02/15/2019
A fine episode of the show with some great gags and some good character development. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
