<P> Carrie Raisler from The A.V. Club gave the episode and A - rating saying that the episode was overall entertaining . "This show has that makes it great, and that's guts . Not many shows would have the stones to dismiss their entire season's mythology as false only a few short weeks before the finale . This demonstrates the writers' extreme confidence not only in the story they are telling but also the inherent entertainment factor of all the episodes leading up to the big reveal ." </P> <P> E. Reagan of The TV Chick gave the episode and A - rating saying that it was very informative . "There was obviously not a ton of plot movement, but some for sure . However, we learned an incredible amount of information . I can honestly say that I didn't see it coming about the Klaus vamp / werewolf thing . Nice work people ." </P> <P> Steve Marsi from TV Fanatic rated the episode with 5 / 5 saying that the episode was stunning and might have been the best to date . "(The episode) delivered so much mythology, but in a way that didn't come off as forced and certainly didn't feel like a letdown . On the contrary, everything about last night felt epic ." </P> <P> Diana Steenbergen of IGN rated the episode with 8 / 10 saying that the episode felt like a dump of information "but as usual, there were plenty of twists and turns to keep our heads spinning . Season 2 is definitely coming to a boil ." </P>
