Reviews[]

  • The A.V. Club gave it a "B", I can barely sit through any storyline with Manny, Jay, and Gloria these days, while Cam and Mitchell’s reality check about how grateful they are to have kids is charming enough— Haley’s feels consequential in the context of this season, where Modern Family might be ending. The journey and outcome feels thought out in a way that’s rare for the show these days.
  • TV Fanatic gave it 3.5 / 5.0.
