Meanwhile, jokingly, Times critic Ed Potton said: "Whew! How it felt after watching Millie Bobby Brown play Sherlock Holmes' teenage sister in Nancy Springer's hilarious adaptation is extremely relieved."

Commenting on the work in general, author Rachel Wagner wrote: "The film is an entertaining journey with a heroic image that everyone needs right now. She's brave, she's funny and a little more muddy. " Along with that, IndieWire reporter Kate Erbland firmly stated: "The film Enola Holmes proves itself to attract a lot of different audiences".

However, there were still a small number of critics who directed negative pens at Enola Holmes. Tom Beasley of Flickering Myth said: "Despite the entertainment Millie Bobby Brown offers, or the charm of Henry Cavill, Enola Holmes is still an uncomfortably cliché".

Meanwhile, writer Ella Kemp of Empire magazine thinks the movie should be fun, not too funny. Because of the jokes, the pieces of humor will become less subtle, they "continuously bounce on the viewers' heads like a ton of bricks".
