The Name Game Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
What a fun episode; a strong and memorable return after the holiday hiatus, and one that was fairly tightly scripted, all things considered (like that this is American Horror Story).
Grantland
Tess Lynch
Just when you think American Horror Story: Asylum can't possibly get more Baroque, it shimmies up a gilded spire and tosses a zillion putti at your head until you beg for mercy.
Slate
J. Bryan Lowder
This episode raised so many questions!
Rolling Stone
Halle Kiefer
As the crematorium fire rages, Arden, um, climbs on top of her carcass and burns himself alive. That was a pretty great moment, you guys... I feel happy just knowing it happened.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
For all its conflicts, 'The Name Game' isn't nearly as crazy as some episodes that have come before it, but mainly that's because it's still picking up the pieces after the Lee Emerson (Ian McShane) holiday disaster at Briarcliff.
TV Equals
Kelly Gerlach
I feel like we should work "The Name Game" from final scene to first scene since the entire episode just kept getting crazier and crazier!
HitFix
Liane Bonin Starr
I will say this is one episode that demands your full attention, even as it skips over more details than I would have liked.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
I've started to get into the rhythm of this odd, weirdly rewarding season of television, to figure out the way that it seems to build to a season finale every other episode, then retreat into downtime.
Collider
Dave Trumbore
Tonight's episode spent a little bit of time getting us reacquainted with our favorite patients and caregivers of Briarcliff, but quickly got back into the crazy head games, battle between good and evil and even threw in a few surprises.
Den of Geek
Ron Hogan
This show has nothing but good actors on it, and the worst aspects of some of the performers (accent work, mostly) can be overshadowed by more powerful visual signals.
Entertainment Weekly
Jeff Jensen
The whole episode was one of the season's strongest hours, due in large part because it contained one of the most inspired scenes this series has ever given us... but we'll get to Satan's Great! Big! Music! Box!
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"The Name Game," despite its dalliance with a Glee-inspired dance-macabre number, gave us some big game-changing deaths. It heaped a ton of woe onto Jude and Timothy, giving them both powerful ways to atone for their past misdeeds.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Julieanne Smolinski
I gather from Twitter that some people weren't thrilled about this episode's dancing and earthy, windy, and fiery deaths. But personally, I like a little reheated ham after Christmas.
TV Fanatic
Carla Day
I especially enjoyed that the focus of the hour was back on the main characters and their journeys... for better or worse.
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
With only three episodes left in the season, it's promising to see American Horror Story: Asylum pushing the story forward full force. Hopefully the relentless pace can be maintained for the remainder of the season.

Price Peterson
This was a poetic and disturbing closure for two very evil characters. Great ending. Great episode. Great season. Great show. Great golden era.
Wall Street Journal
Gwen Orel
This was an action-packed episode.
