richards' performance in "the golden compass" was variously described as "efficient", "a decent job", "nicely played", and "enchanting." one review called the selection of richards' for the role of lyra "terrific casting". peter bradshaw of "the guardian" commented that; "lyra is nicely played by 13-year-old newcomer dakota blue richards, though with an artful dodger-ish 'urchin' accent that comes and goes a bit", while "empire" noted that she "struggles with lumpy dialogue". pulitzer prize-winning critic roger ebert was more effusive, calling richards "a delightful find" who was "pretty, plucky, forceful, self-possessed, charismatic and just about plausible as the mistress of an armoured bear and the protector of dust."
