"beauty and the beast" continues to be constantly lauded by both film and music critics alike. film critic janet maslin of "the new york times" praised "beauty and the beast", describing it as "a glorious ballad" while dubbing it ashman and menken's "biggest triumph". beliefnet called the song "stirring", while hal hinson of "the washington post" considers it to be among the film's best. roger moore of the "chicago tribune" referred to "beauty and the beast" as a "brilliant" song that "can move you to tears," while james berardinelli of "reelviews" cited it among the film's most "memorable" songs. anthony quinn of "the independent" highlighted "beauty and the beast" as the film's best song, going on to praise lansbury's "magnificent" performance, while the "deseret news" chris hicks called it "beautiful". simon brew of "den of geek" specifically enjoyed the lyrics "bittersweet and strange, finding you can change," describing the song as "superb". lansbury's vocal performance has also been singled out for praise: "slant magazine"s jaime n. christley wrote that lansbury "delivers the film's title tune, gooey treacle that it is, like nobody's business". describing the song as "beautiful", the "chicago tribune"s gene siskel wrote that "beauty and the beast" is "performed poignantly by the richly textured voice of angela lansbury". similarly, popmatters' bill gibron penned, "the moment angela lansbury's trite teapot steps up to sing the title song, all dry eye bets are off". the "new york post"s lou lumenick wrote that "beauty and the beast" was "unforgettably delivered by angela lansbury". aylin zara of buzzfeed opined that lansbury's version is superior to the single, penning, "though the commercial pop version of 'beauty and the beast,' sung by celine dion and peabo bryson, is great, the film version — performed by angela lansbury as mrs. potts — is even better. tender and warm ... it tugs at all the right heartstrings to get your eyes a little misty". rachael monaco of axs cited "tale as old as time. tune as old as song. bittersweet and strange. finding you can change. learning you were wrong. certain as the sun rising in the east. tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, beauty and the beast" as the film's best lyric. "entertainment weekly"'s darren franich, however, admitted to preferring "be our guest" and "belle" over "beauty and the beast".
