<P> Gwen Ihnat of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B -, noting that "Wow, a lot to process this hour: When Once Upon A Time gives you a midseason finale, they frickin' mean it . With the Pan plot coming to a close, a new storyline needed to open up . And in Storybrooke's case, that's wide open ." </P> <P> Hilary Busis of Entertainment Weekly summed it up with these comments: </P> <P> Remember how season 2's winter finale brought an entire half - season's storyline to a satisfying end by conclusively returning Snow and Emma to Storybrooke? Well, Sunday's episode went about a hundred times farther, effectively tying a pretty white bow on the entire show's storyline--at least, until that handy "One Year Later" tag (Captain Swan lives!) and a preview promising the imminent introduction of the Wicked Witch of the West . (Just what Once needed: Another villain who's more compelling than any of the show's heroes .) </P> <P> Of course, that line of thinking is totally moot because "Going Home" wasn't the end of Once Upon a Time--it was merely the end of the show's latest chapter, an oft - frustrating string of episodes that wasted too much time running in place and then decided to launch an all - out sprint to the finish . Luckily, that sprint largely worked--shoehorned - in Tinker Bell redemption plot and all . </P>
