The musical received mixed but generally positive reviews. Henry Hitchings, for the Evening Standard , regarded it as "robustly likeable — mixing passionate populism with bursts of big-budget flamboyance". [46] Paul Taylor, for The Independent , called it "a West End musical you can be pleased to acknowledge was 'made in Britain' ". [47]
Nevertheless, even some of those who praised the musical criticised some aspects of the production, with Hitchings calling it "occasionally crass and a little too manipulative (the final number ["Stand Up"] is an especially brazen bid to get us on our feet)". [46] Taylor suggested Made in Dagenham was "uneven but captivating". [47]
Others were more critical. Simon Edge, for the Daily Express , complained of an "underpowered central performance from Gemma Arterton as Rita ... she lacks any of the goofy charisma that Sally Hawkins brought to the film role, so that it's hard to see how her character ever came to the fore of this dispute". [48] Michael Billington, in his review for The Guardian , opined that Arnold's score "rarely rises above the functional". [49]
