brian truitt of "usa today" described the film as a "comforting nostalgia-fest" and "satisfaction in spit-spot fashion" as well as commended the performances of blunt and miranda (whom he referred to as "endlessly charming") as well marshall's knack on musical numbers and shaiman's "swinging delight" original score. "the atlantic"s christopher orr remarked that: ""mary poppins returns" serves as a reminder that, for all its global scope and hegemonic ambition, disney still has a little magic left up its sleeve." orr called it a "highly likable diversion" and similarly praised the film for balancing the familiar and the new. he also found blunt's version of mary poppins as "excellent" and described it as "a little chillier and more austere" while referring it as "truer to the spirit of the heroine of p. l. travers’s books". peter travers of "rolling stone" rated the film with three out of five stars, praising blunt's unique portrayal of the title character while referring the film as an "industrial-strength sugarplum" and felt that the sequel didn't live up to the 1964 original, but nevertheless praised the film in which he remarked: ""mary poppins returns" shows it has the power to leave you deliriously happy". "time" magazine's stephanie zacharek wrote that ""mary poppins returns" honors the spirit of its predecessor". she also highlighted blunt's interpretation of the title character (in which she described the performance as close to "travers’s original vision"), as well as the costumes, production values, and 2d animation sequences, but found fault with shaiman's and wittman's songs as one of the film's "weaker points".
