Pitchfork
Two decades later, Metallica reunite with the San Francisco Symphony for a chiefly fans-only document that adds more needless orchestration to already orchestral metal songs.

Clash
'S&M2' sees the band happily rip through their back catalog, supercharged once more by a talented orchestra and some hardcore fans. It’s a reminder that, despite many hiccups along the way, their live prowess and influence stand unmatched in the genre. Long live The Four Horsemen.

Metallica, San Francisco Symphony strike gold again on 'S&M2'.
-
All Music
What makes S&M2 so absorbing and entertaining is how all the musicians involved embrace both the ridiculousness and seriousness of their endeavor, creating a glorious overblown noise impressive in its ambition, heft, and unspoken absurdity.

Markus' Heavy Music Blog
‘S&M 2’ is better than the first attempt from 20 years ago and certainly the new version will become another commercial success for the Metal veterans from the Bay Area.
-
Kerrang!
S&M2 stands as a tribute both to Metallica’s growing confidence as players and composers, and an absolute vindication of their decision to revisit one of their most inspired creative outings. Within our world, they remain utterly fearless and inarguably peerless.
