The voice performances garnered a variety of responses. In terms of general comments, Screen Rants Molly Freeman received jollification from them, and IGNs Tom Jorgensen applauded the actors for embodying each character's heroism and for a grounded delivery that "balances well with the fantastical trappings of the Mushroom Kingdom". On the other hand, Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com found them "uniformly mediocre", and Soren Andersen of The Seattle Times meaninglessly exaggerated, "sound and fury signifying not a whole lot".

Pratt was criticized by Josh Spiegel of SlashFilm as "blandly heroic" and The New York Times journalist Calum Marsh as "grating" and "unctuous". His lack of accent was noted by Kristy Puchko of Mashable: "whatever voice Pratt is doing isn't Brooklyn, and it isn't anything particularly specific, consistent, or exciting". Even the more forgiving Freeman suggest he was "not so bad as to be distracting, but not strong enough to be at all interesting either". Less, but similar comments of blandness and near-absence of a Brooklyn accent were also thrown at Day by Los Angeles Times' Katie Walsh.

The animation was acclaimed.
