Alissa Wilkinson of Vox praised the staging and direction of the Disney+ taping as well as her performance writing writing that "Goldsberry’s rapid-fire flow as Angelica Schuyler, mixed with her sideways glances and obvious pain in longing for Alexander" are "emotions you can see in the film far better than you can from the back row of the Richard Rodgers Theatre" The following year she had a cameo appearance with her Hamilton co-star Phillipa Soo as well as Broadway legends Bernadette Peters, Andre de Shields, Bebe Neuwirth, Chita Rivera, and Joel Grey in the Lin-Manuel Miranda directed biographical musical film Tick, Tick...
