From '' Entertainment Weekly'', Dalene Rovenstine opined that, "Overall, I'm not crazy that this very sci-fi show suddenly went supernatural/spiritual at the end. There were certainly rocky spots in this season for sure, just like the series in general. But honestly, I'm just happy that Clarke, Raven, and Octavia finally get to be happy. And I'm thankful for all the seasons we've got to spend with them." Writing for Collider, Haleigh Foutch lauded the show's characters, and their development throughout the season, stating that "Every character is forced to pull their own personal lever of sorts, placed in a position where they have to make a snap survival judgment that puts their values to the test. Some of their choices may surprise you." Linda Maleh, writing for '' Forbes'', gave positive feedback to the season's suspenseful storyline, saying that the series helped her go through the quarantine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that "There's a new set of mysteries and stakes this season that will keep fans on the edge of their seats .."
