The Guardian gave it three stars, writing: 'After two misfiring series, some of the old Sex and the City magic is detectable in this new run of the HBO spin-off.
'As it returns for a third run, there are signs that it's finally getting into its vertiginous-heeled stride.
'There is still plenty here to mock – and rest assured, we will – but there's also just enough of the old magic to make this a nostalgic guilty pleasure.'
Meanwhile The Independent agreed saying that the series had 'finally started to find its groove'.
They added in their three star review: 'The evolution, from controversial reboot to inoffensive serial, might spawn fewer social media reactions, but it makes for a far smoother watch.'
IndieWire also agreed that things were improving with the third series, saying: 'Michael Patrick King's 'Sex and the City' sequel series seems to be settling into a groove.
'A groove that's quite familiar, if once forsaken. Yes, a groove worn smooth by 'Sex and the City.''
Collider, Time Magazine and Mamamia also gave positive reviews.
Their co-star Sarita Choudhury also cut a stylish figure wearing a leggy black dress and sheer tights
She looked great in the oversized shirt style dress which she teamed with pointed heels to boost her height
Nicole Ari Parker looked effortlessly chic in a black and white polka dot blouse
In an interview this week, Sarah revealed Mr. Big's death on And Just Like That was 'really hard' for her to film.
The actress addressed the shocking moment in the show where Carrie's husband Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a heart attack after working out on his Peloton bike.
Mr. Big had been a staple character of Sex And The City and Carrie's main love interest so it was a risk for writers to kill him off.
Speaking on The E! News Sitdown with Bruce Bozzi, Sarah gave her thoughts on the storyline.
She said: 'Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without.'
'It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing. But that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years.'
Although Sarah does agree with some of the online 'objections' over how Carrie and Big ended up together, she still admires the couple's relationship.
'All of it was a mess, and all of it was wonderful,' she said. 'It was romantic, and it was a disaster. It was destructive, and it was healthy. It just felt really untethered. It was really sad to say goodbye to that.'
Since Big's death, Carrie has rekindled her romance with old flame Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) who she was involved with in seasons three and four of Sex And The City.
Chris Noth had his career upended in 2021 when he faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has since staunchly denied.
The 70-year-old has confessed that he 'strayed on my wife,' which was 'devastating to her,' but added: 'What it isn't, is a crime.'
Last year, he firmly denied multiple allegation allegations of sexual misconduct in his first interview about the charges that infamously put his career on hold.
Chris, who has insisted he is still close to his former Sex and the City co-stars, told USA Today that any encounters he has had outside his marriage were consensual.
'I strayed on my wife, and it's devastating to her and not a very pretty picture,' he told the outlet. 'What it isn't, is a crime.'
The former Law and Order star has been married to his wife, Tara Wilson, 45, since 2012. The couple were together for 10 years before tying the knot and are parents to two children - Orion, 16, and Keats, four. Noth said he has spoken to his teenager about the situation.

Yes, You Have Seen Carrie's Hot Gardener Before
After months of anticipation, And Just Like That is finally back on our screens for a third season. The show has already got hit ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming the highest-ranked season so far. Many reviews are saying season three has finally found its footing as a proper sequel to the original show. The new season sees Carrie move into an incredible Gramercy Park West townhouse, leading to a host of encounters with new men. One of these is a hot new gardener, Adam (played by Logan Marshall-Green), whose jokey demeanour becomes a fun contrast to Carrie's grumpy downstairs neighbour. But where have we seen Logan before? Logan Marshall-Green is an actor, who is best known for his role as Trey Atwood in the second and third season of the OC. Logan was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and raised in Rhode Island. He went to the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Connecticut before graduating with a Master's in Fine Arts from New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts. NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 01: Logan Marshall-Green is seen on the set of the series 'And Just Like That' on August 01, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) ©Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Logan has often been compared to fellow actor Tom Hardy. While he has acknowledged the similarities between them, he has previously pointed out he actually has a twin-brother called Taylor. He told 'I'd be honoured to be in the same sentence as Tom Hardy. I've been a twin since the day I was born - fraternal, but we look a lot alike - so I've already been mixed up with another man my entire life.' Logan Marshall-Green was born on 1 November 1976, making him 48-years-old. As well as his role in the OC, Logan has had roles in other TV shows including Traveler, Dark Blue, The Defeated and Quarry. He's also had starring roles in the films Devil, Prometheus, The Invitation, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Upgrade. ©Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Fans were excited that Logan was starring in AJLT last year, after he was pictured on set with Sarah Jessica Parker. One fan account re-shared a picture that shows Logan cuddling Carrie's cat, with the caption: 'Oh my word, my heart!!!' At the time, it was unclear what role Logan would play, and some people speculated he could be a potential love interest of Carrie's. However, now we know he is Carrie's gardener, who has a penchant for silly T-shirts and a hilarious - and slightly sassy - personality.

Manhattan's West Village Girl plague has already spread to Scotland
The West Village Girl, dissected by journalist Brock Colyar in the latest cover story for New York Magazine, is a new generation that has taken over Manhattan's West Village, the old stomping ground of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. There are attributes that set her apart from her Glasgow sister, but they are minor (there's no Aritzia in Glasgow from which to buy a Super Puff). The rest of her defining characteristics are shared, so let's hereby refer to her as the West End Girl: Blank Street, dachshunds, Pilates, sweatshirts from Adanola, Sambas, slick ponytails, Aperol spritzes, Sabrina Carpenter, contrast therapy, TikTok, queueing for croissants. You get the gist. Thanks to social media, it may seem like I'm describing the well-heeled Gen Z girl. The 'I'm not an influencer, I'm a content creator' girl. The gym-instead-of-pub, no-makeup-makeup girl. But the stereotype that has flooded Byres Road and beyond has roots. Millennial roots, actually. Does it really belong in Glasgow, though? Will it last? Is this Glasgow culture now? (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) You see, a decade ago, when I moved to Glasgow from Vancouver, the land of Lululemon, passive aggression and orthorexia, I was this girl. I bemoaned the lack of bars I frequented at home: matcha bars, Pilates bars, smoothie bars, salad bars, trendy bars. At the time, Glasgow was mostly pubs, chippies, burger joints, betting shops and Gregg's. People eyed my culture of rampant individualism and optimisation suspiciously. The culture here was unpretentious. It was awkward to take oneself so seriously. Friends mocked my affinity for salads mercilessly (some still do). Their faces contorted with disgust at the mention of going for a run on the weekend. Weekends were for spending time with your friends and family. Socialising. Over pints. Within two years, I had all but abandoned my fragile wellness persona. I started drinking beer again. I let beige food back into my diet. I must admit, I felt holistically better in Glasgow, not striving for perfection. Though I subtly relished slipping back into my old ways whenever I returned to North America, giddy at the thought of slurping down an iced matcha latte the size of my head after a barre class. READ MORE MARISSA MACWHIRTER Then, a few years ago, something funny happened. Little echoes of the past started cropping up throughout the city. A hip salad bar here. A chic fitness studio there. Thanks to TikTok, the wellness girlie plague spread to Glasgow, a place I never thought it would touch. Reformer Pilates studios, boutique wellness spaces offering ice baths and infrared saunas, and running clubs. And then, bang! The pièce de résistance. This spring, not one, but two Blank Street Coffee locations opened within a few weeks of each other. One on Gordon Street, one on Byres Road (two Edinburgh locations opened in January and February). The brand was founded in Brooklyn in 2020, but a cup from the coffee chain is as ubiquitous in the manus of a West Village Girl as a Cartier Love Bracelet. And now, thanks to the brand's confidence in the Glasgow market, our West End Girls can have them too. No need to board the Global Airlines Airbus A380 to JFK. Blank Street was so confident in Glasgow's West End Girls that the chain opened up on the corner of Ruthven Street and Byres Road just shy of two weeks after the council refused planning permission for the site. A spokesperson for the brand said they didn't really need approval anyway and are able to operate 'under the previous tenant's use'. One local called it 'absolutely brass-necked'. A comment on the application from the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland and an objection from Friends of Glasgow West alluded to resistance in the area for a Blank Street, and perhaps the type of Gen Z-coded customer it attracts? Blank Street Coffee is now ubiquitous The erosion of originality on Byres Road has been in the post for years. The new Blank Street unit was previously occupied by Greggs. Chains were perverting the affluent boho ethos of the West End long before Blank Street came along. Can the pushback be simplified as a resistance to the new monoculture? This exercise and health obsession that characterises mainstream Gen Zers trickled in from America. It's far removed from the European-adjacent culture of the Glasgow that I came to in 2015. If you speak to people in the nighttime industry, they will tell you this new culture has upended nightlife in the city. Queues for designer iced drinks have replaced queues for the Berkeley Suite. Pubs and bars losing their status as our first choice, third place is a shake-up of Glasgow's cultural identity. Each time I passed the Blank Street queue, my brain nearly exploded. At first, I saw a flashing recession indicator warning that matcha making its way to Glasgow was a grave sign we were one step closer to an atomised society. We better get those Gen Zers on the pints, fast, before it's too late, I thought. Then, milky green with envy, I saw a generation younger than me, healthy like I once was, glossy with youth and languishing in the sunny queue for a cute little beverage, not a care in the world. I would like to be her again. Maybe if I get in line behind the sea of Hayley Bieber lookalikes and buy myself an Iced Daydream Matcha, I can turn the clock back a few years. There is, after all, nothing wrong with caring about your health. It's good for you, in fact. Questioning whether the affluent West End Girl mentality belongs in Glasgow is redundant. She is clearly already here. And will it last? I've always thought American wellness culture was rooted in the country's cruel and costly privatised health care system. So if the weekly warnings about the dire state of Scotland's NHS are anything to go on, I reckon we could see a few more Blank Streets in the city this year.

Cruz Beckham, 20, reaches milestone with girlfriend, 29, after Romeo's split
Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel have been dating for a year, amid the news that his brother Romeo Beckham has split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull As one Beckham boy nursed a broken heart, another celebrates a huge relationship milestone. Cruz Beckham, 20, and Jackie Apostel, 29, have now been together for a whole year, and the pair marking the huge milestone on social media. But Cruz and Jackie's happiness comes as his brother Romeo Beckham adjusts to life as a single man once again after his split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull. The news of Romeo Beckham's break-up with his Kim might just be the catalyst for mending relations between Brooklyn Beckham and his family, following weeks of tension and cold shoulders. But a family feud is the last thing on Jackie and Cruz's mind today as the happy couple rejoice in lasting a whole year. Sharing a snap of herself and her 20-year-old boyfriend on her Instagram Stories, Jackie told her followers: "My favourite person in the whole world." She added another snap of David and Victoria Beckham's youngest son and penned: "I love you even when you are morning grumpy." Cruz also shared a selection of snaps on his Stories, telling his girlfriend: "1 year down, many more to go". Jackie and Cruz's love-in comes as fans of the Beckham family hope Romeo's recent split could see Brooklyn Beckham reunite with his parents and siblings after a tense few weeks. Brooklyn, David and Victoria's eldest, and his wife Nicola Peltz have been noticeably distant from the rest of the Beckham clan of late - they even missed David's 50th birthday bash in April. It was rumoured that Romeo's choice of girlfriend was the spark that ignited this family rift. Earlier this year, whispers suggested that Brooklyn had once had a romantic connection with Kim, although Cruz Beckham reportedly stated in a now-deleted post that the pair "never dated". However, TMZ reported a couple of months ago that it was "all water under the bridge". They cited sources claiming that the issue stemmed from Brooklyn and Nicola questioning whether Kim had "the right intentions" when it came to dating Romeo. In the midst of all this drama, Romeo, 22, and Kim, 26, have decided to call time on their seven-month whirlwind romance. An insider has revealed that the pair "split a few weeks ago and it's all amicable and they are still friends". Many will be hoping that Romeo's change in relationship status will lead to a reunion between the Beckham brothers and a resolution of the family issues. However, they shouldn't get their hopes up too high. It's been said that Kim's involvement in the family drama isn't the reason behind the split - and David and Victoria Beckham, both 51, are keen to make that clear. Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source revealed that David and Victoria Beckham held Kim in high regard and believed she made their son Romeo "happy". The insider stated that despite the recent breakup a "couple of weeks ago", relations have "remained friendly". They divulged: "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives."
