[7.0] "Good and very news worthy card. The main didn't quite hit for me like it did for others but it was still very good. Tag title match was sloppy but the opening rounds of the junior tournament were fun. 7/10"

[8.0] "A really solid show, mostly anchored by two great matches. The undercard was middling and the tag titles match was a bit underwhelming, but main event and Odashima/Takahashi match are enough to save the show."

[6.0] "Largely this was a rather middling show. The main event was decent and saw Inamura take the GHC title but I'm not as enthusiastic about it as other commentators. Kondo and Menso-re was surprisingly fun and energetic even though it didn't last a full minute. The definite low point was the NXT guys winning the tag title."

[9.0] "Great show. We got to meet three new trainees who look solid. NOAH Jr. Grand Prix opened with a good match. NOAH continuing to have Junta lose is almost funny now. What was really funny was Shuji Kondo taking out Black Menso-re then quickly going backstage. Nice to see Ninja Mack back in NOAH even if he looks a little heavier. He still hit his moves. Ozawa coming out to talk to the crowd was great as usual. Hopefully he can stay healthy. Hiromu has done a lot to shake up NOAH's junior division. He really put Daiki over in this match. The tag title match was good. Hank and Tank in NOAH is alright. They seem to be having fun with the crowd. Main event was exciting. Inamura finally has the heavyweight title and is captain of the ship. They should run him vs Kaito at the new year show. Highly recommend this show."

[5.0] "If Korakuen Hall is full, it doesn't mean that the show will be hot and rocking, hopefully some fans will learn that lesson after watching this show. It had two interesting matches on paper - KENTA/Inamura and Hiromu/Odashima, both of them delivered in my opinion. Odashima had another strong individual performance, I think he made the crowd doubt the outcome, and Inamura won the GHC Hvt. title without doing anything extra cringe, though he still had 'Mr. SMACK DADDY' written on his ass. It was a long time coming, but when he won, it just didn't feel like a big deal mostly because the crowd didn't treat it as such. Personally I'm glad NOAH is giving Inamura a chance to impress and stay at the top for a while, something tells me that even if his 1st reign won't set the world on fire, he will be motivated to win the belt again and have as strong as of a run as he could possibly have. Unfortunately everything else was just there - Hvt. Tag Team titles match featured a boring showing by NXT guests, three other Jr. Hvt. Grand Prix matches came and went (though I believe some fans will see Kondo vs. Menso-re as by far and away the best match on this show) and first two undercards matches were just there."
