Critics Consensus

"Back to Normal" gives fans -- and Barry -- a chance to catch their breath, taking a step back from the action that has filled this high-speed second season.

The Flash has yet to find a female character whose potential it hasn't squandered this season.

Barry Allen may have lived for years without being the scarlet speedster but "Back to Normal" forces him to readjust to life lived at an average pace.

Back To Normal isn't grim and gritty, exactly; it's just kind of a bummer.

I appreciated that this episode didn't go overboard in its portrayal of Barry. He may be depressed, but he didn't waste time wallowing in self-pity.
