brian lowry of "variety" gave the season a negative review, writing, "ultimately, this 'arrested' revival plays a bit like a reunion special, where the individual cast members come out and take their curtain calls. after the warmth of seeing them reunited (or semi-reunited, given how rarely more than one or two are featured in a scene together), there's a sort of awkwardness to it, as if nobody really has much to say. we're meant to bask in the nostalgia, while the particulars are of relatively little consequence." nathan rabin of "the wall street journal" similarly wrote, ""arrested development" has lost a step or two in its long stint on the sidelines. the pacing is notably slower than during its original run and the show lacks the breathtaking density that characterized its glorious past. at its worst, the new/old "arrested development" is reduced to doing a shaky imitation of itself: the characters and themes are there but the beats are slightly off, as is the tone". david pierce of "the verge" also gave it a mixed review, writing "season four is kind of a confused mess, but then so is the bluth family — and both somehow work despite all the chaos. from the way it was shot to the way it was released, the show was an experiment — covering a few events many ways, showing us the world through every character's eyes. it's very clearly just set-up in the larger sense, building toward something bigger for "arrested development". but the question is, what's next?" he also commented positively, saying, "season four is absolutely worthy of the "arrested development" name, though you'll have to slog through three episodes before it becomes so".
