Excellent.
Rating: 5.0/5

Written by Rich Safford: 
This was great, I loved it. Manny really gave the characters that haven't been getting time lately (Malcom, Hoshi, Travis) a chance to shine, and they did. It was a great episode, and wonderful that the Organians were involved.
Rating: 4.5/5

Written by Rob: 
This can be considered one of the best standalone episodes that Enterprise has ever had or Star Trek itself for that matter. It is very consistant with Trek canon except for a few glitches that I noticed after I watched. It was also great to see every cast member be pulled into the spotlight for once, with each character having an important role.
Rating: 4.8/5

Written by Bob Light:

I loved this episode! It scores as one of my favourites of season 4. I highly recommend seeing this episode. Travis and Hoshi got more lines! WOOHOO!

This was a very good episode. The acting was great and the writing was top-notch. I liked how Montgomery and Keating played the two aliens. Park and Trinner were great as the two dying, and it was neat when T\'Pol was sad for both Archer and Trip.
