Kelly Lawler USA Today 03/27/2019
R & B is mostly OK, far more at home in the past than in the present, when Randall and Beth's actions continue to feel out of character and hurtful to the point of seeming like their marriage shouldn't be able to recover. Go to Full Review David Canfield Entertainment Weekly 03/27/2019
B+
[It's] an episode carried by two of the best actors working in TV today, but also a well-crafted, insightful, and complex piece of storytelling in its own right. Go to Full Review Maggie Fremont New York Magazine/Vulture 03/27/2019
3/5
The Pearson men are charming and sometimes it's hard to see past that in order to hold them accountable for their actions. It even works on us, the audience! Go to Full Review Alicia Gilstorf Tell-Tale TV 04/03/2019
3.5/5

In tried and true This Is Us fashion, "R & B" managed to balance out the drama with light-hearted, sweet moments that reminded us why we fell in love with the partnership when we first got introduced to them. Go to Full Review Kimberly Roots TV Line 03/27/2019
