	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"If “Sing 2” sounds like a shameless excuse for a bunch of celebrities to perform cover versions of Top 40 hits while animated animals lip-sync the lyrics for our amusement … well, that’s essentially what it is."	NEU
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"As a movie, this new installment feels closer to a lazily assembled playlist featuring all of the Top 40 songs that hit airwaves in the years since the original was released."	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"One of the biggest surprises of 'Sing' (...) was how well the cast’s musical performances came together (...) If anything, 'Sing 2' exceeds that memorable accomplishment"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Sing 2’s litany of pop, rock and hip-hop covers, belted out without much subtlety or nuance, starts to become wearying, with the story proving to be something of a repeat from the previous picture."	NEG
United States	Fiona Underhill IndieWire	"This overstuffed, oddly soundtracked sequel bulldozes all of the first film’s original charm"	NEG
United States	Common Sense Media	"Animated musical comedy sequel has tons of star power"	POS
Canada	Rachel Labonte Screen Rant	"'Sing 2' doesn't offer enough originality to truly make it stand out, though those who got a kick out of the first movie will find plenty to love (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Sing 2' lacks an underlying heart (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Charles Bramesco AV Club	"'Sing 2' is sufferable only in comparison to the last tuneless round of cartoon karaoke (...) There's nothing true in Garth Jennings' animated ode to artistic purity"	NEG
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"What makes 'Sing 2' enjoyable are the tunes. And writer-director Garth Jennings assembles a characteristically quirky mixtape (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Drew Taylor The Playlist	"It is, in a way, admirable that all 'Sing 2' wants you to do is sit back, smile, and maybe croon along (...) It's enjoyable and not in the least bit challenging. And sometimes that's enough"	POS
United States	Hoai-Tran Bui SlashFilm	"A perfectly pleasant cover album of pop hits that will start to show their age in three to five years —or in three to five weeks, depending on how many times your little tykes rewatch this movie"	NEU
United States	Matt Donato IGN	"More of the same, which is dandy. It's always more about the musical numbers than the depth of storytelling, which works in a for-the-family feature that packages heartfelt messages around fun stage shows"	POS
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"There's plenty of eye-popping animation, nifty choreography and dynamic action —both on stage and off— to keep viewers invested, even if a 10-minute trim wouldn't have been the worst thing"	NEU
United States	Catey Sullivan Chicago Reader	"If the sight of hundreds of flamingos doing synchronized skating doesn't make you smile, I am sorry you are having such an abysmally awful day"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"This franchise doesn't really aspire to be anything more than fun, and on the most basic level, delivers just enough of it"	NEU
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"The best family films teach kids the power of storytelling in ways that can affect them for their entire lives. By comparison, 'Sing 2' serves no other purpose than to waste a couple of hours (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Sarah Jane Austin Chronicle	"You parents out there with kids [will] be forced to take them to see it. So all you want to know is, will you gladly be ready to eat one of your own in order to get out of the theatre faster, right? (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Kristen Page-Kirby The Washington Post	"An utterly unnecessary sequel, but who can resist singing animals? (...) A cinematic masterpiece it is not. But 'Sing 2' is good enough (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"Best not to give it too much thought. No songs are given any real room to breathe because 'Sing 2' is always moving on to the next thing. The songs might get stuck in your head, but [the film] won't"	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"As a painless diversion, it works. The triumphant ending of 'Sing 2' almost makes up for an otherwise uninvolving and derivative story. Almost, but not quite (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ella Kemp Empire	"There's no questioning the high-octane energy of Garth Jennings' star-studded ensemble, but the cacophony grows a little tiresome. The show can go on, but that doesn't mean it must (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[It] has all the gloss but lacks heart and soul (...) This is the kind of movie that could be put on to keep young kids happy… though maybe not so happy as they could have been (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
