Toy Story 3 remains at 100% "Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, with 83 generally positive reviews from approved critics counted, to 0 negative.
How long the almost unheard of perfect score will last is anybody's guess (there's usually a dissenting voice or two) but the film has already been Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes.
(RT also has a "spoiler"-free interview with Lee Unkrich, where he talks about the Toy Story 3 that never was.)
Here are links to eleven reviews (may contain "spoilers") published today, with hand-picked quotes. Part 1 of Selected Toy Story 3 reviews can be found here.

Well, thank you for saying that the RT interview was spoiler-free NOT!
Just saw it on IMAX and it is pure genius. 10/10!!! Also loved the short movie before hand- really different than anything else I've seen before.
I feel that Roger Ebert's review wasn't that good. He said that he felt that the film relied on action and jokes rather than character and emotion. Yeah...you can see what's wrong with that.
