Swara Salih at Gizmodo said, "while a decent finale for a good series, the episode encapsulates the issues of the show overall", wishing it highlighted more of Khan's self-discovery and acceptance as in the comics. He called the embiggening powers "a cool looking effect", and was glad the series did not make Kamran the villain, instead "playing with the idea of him being the 'radical' and her being the 'reasonable' one". He also thought it was "ironic" that implying Khan was a mutant instead of Inhuman or Kree "may have distanced her background even more" from Captain Marvel and Monica Rambeau's. Ryan Parker of The Hollywood Reporter called Larson's cameo "incredibly satisfying because it did not undercut the series", adding had Danvers "arrived too soon to save the day, it could be argued the cameo would have undercut what the entire series set up prior".
