"At once too good and not good enough to tell the story they ultimately wanted to tell."

—

A.V. Club

"I wish I was as thrilled by the ending as the beginning, but I'm grateful that so many episodes stand up to multiple, multiple viewings."

—

Vulture

"This isn't a perfect ending... But a straightforward, fairytale ending for Ted and Tracy wouldn't have served viewers, and it would have been beyond boring."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"The finale, like the series itself, was fine, if not, alas, legendary."

—

Variety

"Seems to completely sour the show's legacy..."

—

The Guardian

"For some, [the] surprise was a disappointment. But disappointment is expecting that a life has only one love story, that happily ever after only happens once, that surprises, good and bad, happen along the way."
