We didn't think it was possible, but we're pretty sure this episode made Us cry harder than any other This Is Us episode. Go to Full Review Maggie Fremont New York Magazine/Vulture 03/09/2018
5/5
It's risky to bench two-thirds of your stars in order to shine some light on some pretty minor characters for a whole episode. Yet, that is exactly what This Is Us does with "The Big Day." And I'm happy to report it works. It really, really works. Go to Full Review Amanda Bell Entertainment Weekly 03/09/2018
