- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: While writer Brian Lynch repeats the same mistakes he made with the first movie – mainly going far afield of organic adventures like a lost toy or trip to the vet’s – this time around he only errs with one of his plot threads and it is, once again, the one that features the thoroughly obnoxious Snowball.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Thankfully it’s short but it still feels long because it’s so meandering.

- Excerpt: Stronger sentiments and higher hijinks elevate this sequel above the original.

- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Underwhelming: episodic, a random collection of unconnected vignettes rather than one cohesive story. Inoffensive, but missing the first movie’s fantastical animals’ perspective on the human world.
- [New] | Dan Lybarger @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
- Excerpt: According to the credits, Brian Lynch wrote The Secret Life of Pets and this sequel. I checked because I thought the author of the screenplay might have been Dory, the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Illumination missed the boat on The Secret Life of Pets because the way they’ve told these stories thus far make them a lot more conducive to television than cinema.
