USA TODAY movie critic Brian Truitt gave the film ★★★ out of four stars, writing that “even with a few missteps, it’s easy to get swept up in director Jon M. Chu’s colorful spectacle (rated PG).”

“The movie musical is both superfluous and splendiferous, yet it casts a big-hearted spell that you’d have to be wicked not to appreciate at least a little. The song-filled character study of the Wicked Witch of the West’s early years ekes out great performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande that’ll wow musical theater kids and old-school ‘Oz’ fans alike,” Truitt wrote in his review, adding the film manages to “at least pulls off a truly soaring closing cliffhanger.”
