  Mike Tedesco of WrestleView called the women's Money in the Bank ladder match "overall pretty good" with "some good moments for some of the young stars, particularly Stephanie Vaquer and Roxanne Perez". Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports gave it a grade of B+, calling it a "solid ladder match that showcased WWE's evolving women's scene", with Naomi being a "reliable choice who can benefit from the briefcase". Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch called it "an exciting, overall solid ladder match with a few dangerous looking moves and nice pacing without overdoing it".
  
  For the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, Keller called it "exciting start to finish", and "Seth winning made sense since it give the new Heyman/Seth faction extra juice this summer and no one else was an obvious person to hold it and credibly cash in, although there were fun theories and speculation El Grande Americano winning but someone else cashing it under the Americano mask". Although "not everything was smooth", it was a "satisfying, epic feel overall". Tedesco called it "very good and newsworthy" with "some really awesome spots and not a lot of dead air in this". Mahjouri gave it a grade of A, calling it "one of the best Money in the Bank ladder matches in recent memory" with multiple storylines "incorporated and advanced", Rollins being a major threat with the briefcase, and terrific high spots.
  
  For the main event, Keller called it "spotty with some highs and some long stretches of lows", but R-Truth's return "overrides pretty much anything else". Mahjouri gave it a grade of A+, stating that although "it wasn't a technical classic", "the back half was great sports entertainment" with a "clever" drone spot, a perfect springboard moonsault by Paul, and R-Truth's return being "one of the best surprises in recent memory. If wrestling is about moments, you won't find many better ones this year". Tedesco called it "excellent", and "for the first part, it felt like a house show tag match, but it picked up in a big way". Tedesco called Money in the Bank "pretty good" and "not a bad way to spend a Saturday night".
