	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] is such a fitting bridge from the first season to the second that it’s hard to imagine what the next stage of 'Euphoria' would look like without it."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Zendaya and Domingo get all the credit for making it watchable (...) Its calmness and maturity is welcome, after so many episodes that built up to a big, shocking reveal."	POS
United States	Lena Wilson The Playlist	"This is a perfect departure, a welcome pause in the shimmering chaos. 'Trouble Don’t Last Always' is uniquely suited to this moment"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"The restrictions imposed on 'Trouble Don’t Last Always' came (...) from the challenges of a pandemic. The end result, though, is one where a little bit less of 'Euphoria' as usual wound up being a lot more rewarding"	POS
United States	Angelica Jade Bastien Vulture	"That it never feels boring is a testament to the smart editing, the honesty of the storytelling, and the tremendous acting bringing these characters to life."	POS
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"Captivating and affecting (...) [It] is frequently as funny as it is grim (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A remarkable hour of television (...) Colman Domingo delivers the small-screen performance of the year (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club	"The success of the episode really does hinge on a smart and engaging script and on Domingo and Zendaya bringing it to life with as much fervor as the flashier episodes of 'Euphoria' evoke"	POS
