Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I think there's absolutely a huge amount of emergent gameplay that can come from the focus on building speed and getting air time, but the level design flipflops too often for this to come to pass.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Ending the constructive criticism with the (most) positive: it was refreshing to play a 3D physics-platforming (ball) game with a wide variety of levels and interesting ideas.
