The Hollywood Reporter‘s David Rooney likewise praised Blunt, calling her a “worthy successor” to Andrews, noting the “unmistakable warmth” she brings to the role.
“The nostalgia here could easily have been very cloying,” writes The Independent’s Geoffrey Macnab of the sequel to the Julie Andrew-starring beloved original.
