Critics Consensus

"If Memory Serves" treats long-term fans to canon call-backs, but points to Discovery's lack of consistency in the show's current timeline.

Andrew Whalen Newsweek 03/08/2019
There's something just as heartening to be found in the realization that a series can look at its own past and decide that an old outcome just wasn't good enough and must not be allowed to stand. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club 03/08/2019
C
It's very bad, and more than anything it underlines how empty this new show is fast becoming; how much of its promise has been squandered on an inane fixation with the past; and how little it has to offer at this point. Go to Full Review Devon Maloney New York Magazine/Vulture 03/08/2019
5/5
It demonstrates the newest show's ability to do what its predecessors did with their predecessors, to spin what we already know about Trek in a way that feels respectfully new. Go to Full Review Andrew Bloom The Spool 12/22/2020
Some of the stories that spring forth from those concepts are good or at least endearing. Some of them are awful. Go to Full Review Alexander Zalben Decider 03/08/2019
The episode itself was a dream for fans of the franchise. Go to Full Review Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. 03/08/2019
The scene is incredibly painful to watch, with Sonequa Martin-Green doing some of her best work yet reliving her worst memory. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
