American Horror Story - S5 • E3 Ratings & Reviews
The NitPic
Angela L. Harmon
No amount of blood alone can derive excitement from a drudgery of a show.
Digital Spy
Sam Ashurst
In an episode replete with the show's trademark insanity, the clear highlight is the season debut of AHS regular Angela Bassett. Her Ramona Royale has an inspired backstory.
The Young Folks
Mauricio Abascal
Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk succeeded this episode in providing history and context at a decent pace and within the characters' stories. They didn't throw in unnecessary, cheap thrills and left me hungry for more.
Paste Magazine
Ross Bonaime
Considering how all over the place past seasons of American Horror Story have been, it's amazing how long Hotel has stuck to this one theme, running with it for three episodes, rather than indulging the attention-deficit from which [it] usually suffers.
Observer
Drew Grant
So, how about that episode last Wednesday night, huh? A lot of things happened...well, not really.
PopMatters
Leyla Hamedi
In this Sartre-ian world of "people are hell", no one can completely sever that umbilical cord from mommy.
TV Line
Andy Swift
In keeping with AHS' grand tradition of forcing Kathy Bates into miserable mother-son relationships, Wednesday's episode served us Iris and Donovan's twisted backstory in a neat little package.

Ryan Sandoval
The damned perform their given roles in this multi-leveled black-box theater. Whether the guests here be tragic ghosts, doomed visitors, or predatory immortals, I'm glad every time the lights go down and this cast takes the stage.
New York Times
E. A. Hanks
On the whole, "Mommy" was less burdened by clunky exposition than previous episodes, barring the introduction of Ramona, but what sins can't be excused by the sight of Angela Bassett retrieving a throwing knife out of her Afro?
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Moylan
Sure, there are details left to be uncovered and plenty of surprises in store, but it doesn't seem like the truth is being purposefully obfuscated so that we'll keep tuning in this week. AHS: Hotel is too classy for that, and I like it.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Again though - to bang the same drum - the episode's length prevented this chapter from being a concise work and led it down the same sprawling anything-goes path this season has been on.
Baltimore Sun
Lacy Baugher
Matt Bomer and Kathy Bates are killing it this season. The Donovan/Iris relationship is so compelling and I'm so emotionally invested in what's next.
Tampa Bay Times
Chelsea Tatham
This is possibly my favorite season yet, but the amount and depth of characters is dizzying. Everyone is so depressingly damaged and utterly fascinating.
Entertainment Weekly
Jessica Derschowitz
"Hi, Mommy," has never sounded so creepy.
TV Fanatic
Miranda Wicker
If any of us were wondering whether this series still had IT, allow American Horror Story Season 5 Episode 3 to serve as proof. The answer is yes, in case you were curious.
AV Club
Emily L. Stephens
"Mommy" explores motherhood: birth, love, and nurturing, but also creation... and especially control.
