We report anisotropic magnetocaloric effect and magnetic critical behavior in the van der Waals crystal CrCl₃. The maximum magnetic entropy change $-ΔS^{max}_M ~ 14.6 J kg^-1 K^-1 and the relative cooling power RCP ~ 340.3 J kg^-1 near T_c with a magnetic field change of 5 T are much larger when compared to CrI₃ or CrBr₃. The rescaled ΔS_M(T, H) curves collapse onto a universal curve, confirming the second-order ferromagnetic transition. Finally, further critical behavior analysis around T_c presents a set of critical exponents β = 0.28 (1) with T_c = 19.4 (2) K, γ = 0.89 (1) with T_c = 18.95 (8) K, and δ = 4.6 (1) at T_c = 19 K , which are close to those of the theoretical tricritical mean-field model.
