IndieWire - Liz Shannon Miller
What Bumblebee does best is remember that this is a franchise for the young, and embrace that fact without any shame while also still delivering on the action. There’s no self-importance, no grafting of ultra-patriotism and too-dense mythology onto what should be a simple narrative.
81
TheWrap - William Bibbiani
Bumblebee is, again and easily, the best “Transformers” movie. Heck, it’s probably the only genuinely good “Transformers” movie, with nary a caveat to be found. But it’s also a lively and earnest 1980s nostalgia trip, made with affection for the era and its characters and its soundtracks and its storytelling styles and, yes, even its toys.

Empire - James Dyer
An impassioned ode to both the toys and their era, this, at last, is the Transformers movie we’ve been waiting for.
80
The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
As a toy-advert movie full of artistry and heart, it’s as slyly progressive as it is shamelessly nostalgic.

Uproxx - Mike Ryan
Bumblebee is a total delight.
