For ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', James Powers applauded the performances, visual effects, musical score, production design, and choreography, and commented: "''Mary Poppins'' is a picture that is, more than most, a triumph of many individual contributions. And its special triumph is that it seems to be the work of a single, cohesive intelligence."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Powers|first=James|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/mary-poppins-review-1964-movie-1168686|title='Mary Poppins': THR's 1964 Review|magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=December 12, 2018|orig-date=August 28, 1964|access-date=February 14, 2020|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728225154/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/mary-poppins-review-1964-movie-1168686|url-status=live}}</ref> Ann Guerin of ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' criticized the creative departures from the novels, particularly the "Jolly Holiday" sequence. She noted that "[s]ome of the sequences have real charm, and perhaps the kids will eat them up. But speaking as a grownup, I found a little bit went a long way." She concluded, "With a little more restraint and a little less improvement on the original, the film's many charms would have been that much better."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Geurin|first=Ann|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rUwEAAAAMBAJ|title=Poppins with Snap and Crackle|magazine=[[Life (magazine)|Life]]|date=September 25, 1964|volume=57|issue=13|page=28|issn=0024-3019|via=[[Google Books]]|archive-date=May 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521081057/https://books.google.com/books?id=rUwEAAAAMBAJ|url-status=live}}</ref>

{{blockquote|Disney was the leader, his musical fantasies mixing animation and truly marvelous f/x with real-life action for children and the child in the adult. ''Mary Poppins'' (1964) was his plum. ... the story was elemental, even trite. But utmost sophistication (the chimney pot sequence crisply cut by Oscared "Cotton" Warburton) and high-level invention (a tea party on the ceiling, a staircase of black smoke to the city's top) characterized its handling.{{sfn|Casper|2011|p=1881}}}}
