<P> The reviews to the season were mostly positive . Robert Bianco USA Today gave a largely positive review stating, "Happily, it now seems to have landed on solid ground, with its best ensemble and most engaging stories in years, the union of Meredith and Derek strengthened it by pushing them into a more mature place", and praising Sandra Oh's performance:" Cristina, who responded last week with a performance that stands with any you're likely to see ." </P> <P> The TV Addict also lauded the season and wrote, "the seventh season of ABC's genre - defining medical drama is good . Is it "great again"? This would imply that it was great before, a memory I wish I could fondly look back on, but can't . I'll admit to have been taken with the doctors of Seattle Grace in their initial seasons: they had chemistry, gave some nice performances ", praising the majority cast including Oh's "powerful performance". </P> <P> Jennifer Armstrong of Entertainment Weekly also praised the season, "Season 7 hasn't relegated the finale's events to a dramatic stunt; rather, it's reveled in the possibilities of rebuilding life in the wake of tragedy ." She added "It's in the shooting's emotional reverberations that the show is regenerating after the past few hit - and - miss seasons ." </P> <P> Tom Gliatto writing for People Weekly called the season "satisfying", "Grey has been on long enough now that it has lost much of its erotic sizzle--McDreamy is edging toward Mcnappy--but the satisfyingly steady seventh season is a model of a hit that keeps fitting new characters into the blueprint ." </P>
