"Mad City: Smile Like You Mean It" received enormous praise from critics. The episode received a rating of 100% with an average score of 9.5 out of 10 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. [13]
Matt Fowler of IGN gave the episode a "great" 8.0 out of 10 and wrote in his verdict, "'Smile Like You Mean It' brought Jerome back in a fun (and fairly icky) way. He could have woken right up and led his crazy cult into the city for a carnival of violence, but instead he had his face stolen! And before he could do anything (like kill Bruce Wayne), he had to go get his freakin' face! That felt pretty inspired, actually. Not only did his sewn-back-on face give him traces of the movie Jokers, but the entire thing bumped shoulders with the New 52 rebirth of Joker." [14]
Nick Hogan of TV Overmind gave the series a 4 star rating out of 5, writing "Overall, I really enjoyed the episode and the crazy, psychological turn that Gotham has taken. 2017 in Gotham City is shaping up to be absolutely bonkers, and I love it!" [16] Sage Young of EW gave the episode an "A−" and wrote, "The night of 'the awakening' is messier than second-rate anarchist Dwight Pollard hoped, but the deed is still done. After months of anticipation on the part of fans and teasing on the part of Fox, Jerome Valeska is breathing again. And if he's breathing, you better believe he's causing trouble." [17]
Lisa Babick from TV Fanatic, gave a perfect 5 star rating out of 5, stating: "Gotham strung us along for a while before we got to see what we've been so patiently waiting for, but it was well worth the wait." [15] Vinnie Mancuso of New York Observer wrote, "'Smile Like You Mean It' in honor of the recent Presidential Inauguration, was completely stolen by David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova and returning guest star Cameron Monaghan." [18]
Karmen Fox of The Baltimore Sun wrote, "'Mad City: Smile Like You Mean It' was one of the best Gotham episodes aired recently. Sure, the bringing back villains from the dead trope has been played out more than Jerome's laugh track, but this is a bad guy Gotham — the city and the show — has eagerly waiting for." [19] Sydney Bucksbaum of Nerdist wrote, "If his psychopathic attitude and general insanity didn't scare you before, now his outsides match his insides, making Jerome 2.0 a true force to be reckoned with. This is the moment we've all been waiting for, y'all!" [20]
Robert Yanis, Jr. of Screenrant wrote, "It was a payoff that Gotham had long been hinting at... Now, after delving so heavily into reanimation last season, the show is ready to bring back arguably one of its best villains in the flesh." [21] Kayti Burt of Den of Geek gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Tonight's episode of Gotham reminded me how enjoyable this show can be when its respective storylines stick to what they're good at. 'Smile Like You Mean It' saw a disturbingly stellar return of Jerome, while also effectively balancing some smaller, plot-progressing "B" stories. It did this by letting each story line do what it was best at and ending with one hell of a cliffhanger. All in all, 'Smile Like You Mean It' was one of the best episodes we've had in a while. As always, the presence of Cameron Monaghan as Jerome/the Joker automatically ups the episode of roughly 75%. Monaghan brings a frightening, vulnerable unpredictability to the character, while also delivering some lines that made me laugh out loud. On Gotham, Monaghan manages to make a mark in the long, rich legacy of this iconic character, and that's endlessly impressive to watch." [22]
