It's a review. With a skeptical and kinda snarky tone. But it's a review nevertheless. He offers value judgments. Maybe I missed it, but why is Brantley reviewing ''Neverland'' now? Usually, when a show announces that it's heading for Broadway (as this one has), the Times lays off and treats it as an out-of-town tryout (like ''The Last Ship''). Isherwood, on the other hand, likes to see shows out of town; if he raves about them (i.e., ''American Idiot,'' ''Come Fly Away''), THEN they are announced for Broadway. And when they arrive in NYC, he re-reviews them and amps up his praise.
