[Adam] Sandler's return met and even exceeded most expectations, with the episode serving as a reminder that when his heart is in it, the man is a great performer.May 06, 2019
In a night of puzzling behind-the-scenes decision making, [Adam] Sandler shone most in a pair of pieces that showed off his skills at underplaying in sketches that would have fit perfectly back in his heyday.May 06, 2019
[It was] an episode that had the potential to wallow in nostalgia, but instead was one of the funnier, fresher episodes of the season.May 06, 2019
The expectations were high, and while the Sandman was back to his usual self, the overall show took some time to gain steam. Thankfully, it ended with a bang and even some tears.May 06, 2019
This is a bad episode, but that's not because things were so much better back in the day: It's because it tries to channel the irreverent, childish humor of back in the day, and it only shines a light on how lame that is.May 06, 2019
Many of the sketches play right to [Adam] Sandler's strengths, and just like in 100% Fresh, he lends a world-weary vulnerability and sense of ease in his own skin to many moments.May 06, 2019
Saturday night's episode was a proper homecoming for Sandler, a pleasant mix of old faces, classic characters, and experiments with some of the current show's closest approximations of Sandler's onetime star persona.May 06, 2019
Make sure you have some tissues handy as you're bound to get teary as [Adam] Sandler sings about his friend [Chris Farley] and how hard it was to say goodbye to him.May 06, 2019
In easily the most memorable SNL of the season if for no other reason that it was built almost entirely on indelible memories, [Adam] Sandler and cast reprised voices and characters while a handful of former, also beloved, cast members turned up too.May 06, 2019
With Adam Sandler returning to SNL, the show got a unique chance to honor its past while also giving prime comedic real estate to its existing cast.
