[7.0] "This was a decent episode, elevated by a fantastic main event. The opening tag match between The DKC and Kevin Knight and Brogan Finlay and Jordan Clearwater was dull and pointless. The following Tag Match between Team Filthy and Black Tiger and Rocky Romero and FinJuice was better but not at the level I'd expect from the Romero-Tiger feud. Finally, Tom Lawlor and Fred Rosser saved the show with a match of the night outing over the Strong Openweight Title."
[7.0] "Brogan Finlay & Jordan Clearwater vs. Kevin Knight & The DKC ist ein solides Match von den amerikanischen Young Lions **1/4. Black Tiger, JR Kratos & Royce Isaacs vs. David Finlay, Juice Robinson & Rocky Romero ist ein gutes solides Match **3/4. Fred Rosser vs. Tom Lawlor ist ein verdammt starkes intensiv geführtes Match ***3/4."
[7.0] "Neither of the first two matches were special or memorable, but the main event was great and the post-match segment also established the next challenger for the NJPW Strong Openweight championship. In all, it made for a good but not great episode."
[8.0] "Starke Ausgabe von NJPW Strong. Die beiden Tag Team Matches waren unterhaltsame Weekly Matches und der Main Event zwischen Lawlor und Rosser richtig stark."
[8.0] "STRONG beendet die Detonation "Tour" und das Jahr 2021 mit einer sehr guten Episode. Romero und Rosser sind over und ziehen ordentlich Reaktionen. Kalifornien scheint die beste crowd für Strong zu sein."
