Reception 
The New York Times critic praised the show writing but added "The ceremony did little to explain the breaking point in Mr. Chappelle’s career and life. In highlight reels of Mr. Chappelle’s comedy, there was often at least a decade-long gap between jokes or scenes, highlighting his older, more challenging, more thrilling skit-based humor against his more recent and uneventful stand-up comedy." USA Today gave a mixed review to the special declaring, "Chappelle’s punchlines don’t hit without controversy," specifically pointing out his defense of Louis C.K., downplaying of the allegations against Michael Jackson, and his comments regarding the Trans community.
