As per WION's Pragati Awasthi, “The graph of volume 3 went from high to a sombre tone. Thankfully, it doesn't come with any dull moments, especially in the first house. Until Vecna is killed, the whole sequence of the giant Mind Flayer and the gang fighting was a treat to watch. The scene that has Vecna being killed and how Joyce (Winona Ryder) takes her years-long fear as a mother out as she brutally hits his head with a flashback of well-crafted scenes.”

"However, things felt a little rushed, and the battle was not that wild-wild. But it could have been made longer, eliminating the part of the graduation ceremony. The end of Netflix's blockbuster series marks the end of an era, and it's understandable why the Duffer Brothers provided the closer that surely didn't leave a lasting impression but a sense of satisfaction. Understand the emotions of fans who have grown with the cast of the show as well, and they ensured that all their characters are alive and happy."
