glenn kenny of "the new york times" wrote, "said dog, max, is the most charming character in this version, directed by scott mosier and yarrow cheney. the filmmakers keep the visuals merry and popping bright. benedict cumberbatch, voicing the grinch, opts not to compete with karloff at all, which is smart, and speaks in an american accent, sounding rather like bill hader, which is confusing. a tepid hip-hop song about the grinch plays over the end credits. it’s by tyler, the creator, who only a few years ago was considered one of the saltiest (to put it mildly) voices in music. here, his contribution is as toothless as the rest of the movie." molly freeman of "screenrant" gave the film a 3 out of 5 stars, saying ""the grinch" may not be a necessary holiday movie, but fans of dr. seuss's story or holiday films in general will find plenty to like in this new animated retelling. plus, with a variety of family-friendly jokes, "the grinch" will no doubt entertain viewers young and old, though the 90-minute runtime does stretch thin in the third act of the movie. it's perhaps not worth seeing in imax, but "the grinch" does provide some rich visuals that will also capture the eye of all moviegoers. "the grinch" is holiday fun for the whole family, adapting a classic story with a new twist that makes for an altogether compelling moviegoing experience."
