Chris Hunneysett, Daily Mirror:

"Get the biggest embankment party of the summertime started with this exuberant and surprisingly heartfelt sequel to the smash hit musical romcom of 2008. With the original pulling nigh one-half a billion pounds at the global box part, this sticks rigidly to the successful formula of much loved stars supported past an attractive young bandage, in a gorgeous location armed with a nonsensical script and the all-time popular tunes on the planet… I'm non proverb it's a corking pic, but if you're in the mood for irresistible sun-kissed feel skilful poptastic silliness then it's terrific."

Katie Walsh, Chicago Tribune:

"Much like its predecessor, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' is escapist fluff of the highest order — joyful, filled with beloved pop songs and incredibly bizarre. Go ahead and treat yourself to this raucous seaside summer confection, yous deserve information technology."

John Boone, Entertainment Tonight:

"The younger cast are great, especially James, in the unenviable position of beingness compared to Streep — but that would mean forsaking A-list talent like Brosnan, Firth and Baranski, amid others, who are also great! You won't hear me lament well-nigh Baranski traipsing around in a caftan and purring, 'Be nevertheless my beating vagina.' Music-wise, 'Here We Get Once again' does retread some of the same ground equally the first — 'Mamma Mia,' naturally, 'Super Trouper' and 'I Take a Dream' are a few of tracks that get repeated — simply the song and trip the light fantastic toe numbers are all zany fun, best when they're big and ridiculous and full of joy. Writer-manager Ol Parker, taking the reins from original helmer Phyllida Lloyd, appears to understand that, and his film is cheesy and colorful and everybody is interim for the back of the theater. Which is not but what we expect from a 'Mamma Mia!' movie, it's what nosotros want."

Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair:

"At that place's not really a betoken, exactly, to 'Mamma Mia! Hither We Go Again,' the sequel to the smash-striking 2008 film arriving in theaters on July xx. Just why would there need to be? The pleasures of Ol Parker's movie are simple and sensual, its riot of color and sweet, nostalgic songs proving wholly agreeable even without much of a plot to agree it all together. I went into the movie a bit of a skeptic–about jukebox musicals, about unnecessary sequels, peculiarly ones without the original'due south main star–merely left entirely won over, cheered and a little teary. 'Here We Go Once more' is simple joy in complicated, despairing times.

Ben Travis, Empire Magazine:

"You'll cackle at Christine Baranski'south crackling dialogue, cry when Meryl sings 'My Love, My Life', and when all is said and washed you might even be tempted to get again."
