This was an episode where a lot of things happened, and several big answers were apparently revealed, but where the most important scenes dealt with how the characters were feeling about it all. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/20/2018
There were multiple scenes in which you couldn't have been faulted for at least shedding a tear. However, "The Man in the Yellow Suit" was also missing The Flash's sense of fun - which is okay. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 07/19/2018

The Flash has quickly become adept at teasing out its mysteries. Go to Full Review Dave Golder SFX Magazine 07/25/2018
4.5/5
This is certainly a great episode for big revelations, but it also has the action and drama to back it up. The quip count is significantly lower than usual, replaced by a whole bunch of well-written and effective heart-to-hearts. Go to Full Review Marc Buxton CBR 07/25/2018
We have been treated this season to some solid villains... but none has created the sense of inevitable doom that the Reverse-Flash does. This is one frightening master villain, and the series should be commended for its portrayal of him. Go to Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy 07/25/2018
"The Man in the Yellow Suit" is frustrating in the best possible way, with every new reveal simply giving way to more tantalising questions. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
