Valerie Anne Autostraddle 07/24/2018
From the beginning, Supergirl has been fundamentally about three things: Women, love, and hope - and knowing how much strength is in each of those three things. Alex's story is no different. Go to Full Review Joshua Rivera New York Magazine/Vulture 07/24/2018
5/5
It's pretty remarkable how the episode introduces compelling yet succinct story arcs for Supergirl's main cast members - even a few neglected ones - while making them all feel tonally appropriate and complementary. Go to Full Review Ed Gross Empire Magazine 07/24/2018
3/5
The criminal actions and use of alien weaponry against Supergirl is extremely effective in terms of stuntwork and visual effects, particularly during the impressive first encounter. Go to Full Review Ade Adeniji The Tracking Board 08/28/2018

The subplot of the night goes to Alex, who slowly comes to terms with her attraction to Maggie the detective. As far as coming out stories on television go, I thought it was really well handled. Go to Full Review Jen Neal SciFiNow 07/25/2018
The episode is back on strong Supergirl form. Go to Full Review Jordan Alsaqa TV Equals 07/25/2018
