The characters can be forgettable (this applies to most of Generation 1, however). The story is a tad lacking, although more focused than some of the later attempts (I'm looking at you, The End Of Flutter Valley.) The songs are okay, though some are forgettable. The writing is.. okay. It certainly has it's moments, such as Megan's little turn of spirit from hopeless to hopeful in "Dancing on Air". All in all I'd say it's one of the better entries in the original 'N Friends era.
Do I have criticisms, though? Oh yes. The transfer from happiness to dark and cloudy near the start was rather jarring, the stratodons are never really explained very well, Tirek's appearance is... pretty bad, he was much better when he was covered in shadow, much more menacing. Spike can be a tad annoying at times (though I still like him), Scorpan being a transformed prince sort of comes out of nowhere at the end... but, for what it is, it's more solid than a lot of the other entries in the series.
