Reception[edit]

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, season 7 has a 75% score based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 6.30/10. The site’s critics consensus reads: "Recasting its titular pair with fairly seamless results, the famously unpredictable Rick and Morty settles into a holding pattern that nevertheless still yields plenty of amusing invention."[23] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 73 out of 100, based on reviews from 6 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[24]


Reviewing the first two episodes, Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone noted that the characters who had new voice actors sounded virtually indistinguishable from their appearances in previous seasons.[25] Jake Kleinman for Inverse agreed, finding the voice swap did not impact the show, but did describe the writing and trajectory of the series as disappointing.[26] Alison Foreman, writing for IndieWire, was disappointed that the creatives chose to "maintain the status quo" rather than taking the show in a new direction even after Roiland's removal from the series.[27]
