Sarah was discussed at many of the early production meetings held to develop the film, and a lot of thought was given to how her emotional journey should be reflected in the film's visuals.

[38] [39] Discussing her understanding of the part, Connelly said that Labyrinth is "about a sort of awakening. . .a young girl growing out of her childhood, who is just now becoming aware of the responsibilities that come with growing up." [40] She explained that Sarah learns "that she can't hold onto her childhood any longer. She has to change, and she must open up to other people and other things." Connelly also related the character's development to her own experience of adolescence, saying that while Sarah's change from child to adult is like an "on-off switch", for herself "It's more of a gradual progression. In some ways, I don't want to grow up, but I've always known it was going to happen. I haven't tried to stop it. In that way, Sarah and I are different." [41] Sarah appears in Labyrinth's tie-in adaptations, which include the novelisation by A. C. H. Smith [2] and the three-issue comic book adaptation published by Marvel Comics, [179] which was first released in a single volume as Marvel Super Special #40 in 1986. [180] She also appears in the film's picture book adaptation, [181] photo album, [182] and read-along story book.

Sarah has garnered a more positive reception in decades since Labyrinth's release. Heather Roche of the Times Colonist wrote that the character's "perseverance in solving the labyrinth is inspiring, and sends a great message to any viewers." [129] Several commentators have considered Sarah to be an identifiable protagonist to teenagers because of her strong emotions and familial woes, [130] [131] as well as being relatable to children who spend a lot of time in their imaginations. [64] [132] Zaki Hasan of Fandor wrote favourably of Sarah as "an intelligent young woman, neither portrayed in stereotypical terms nor baselessly sexualized," who "never loses her agency, even as sinister forces conspire to keep her from her goal." [133] Describing the character as a "hormonal hurricane ... bratty and forthright but impossibly likeable", Josh Winning of Total Film wrote, "In-between her numerous rants of "It's not fair!", Sarah's brash sensibilities mean she's at least clever enough not to act intimidated by the Goblin King even if her insides are shuddering ... Not only that, but she defeats her foe by using her brains, and doesn't rely on Prince Charming to come to her rescue." [134] Writing for The Odyssey, Julia Kell praised Sarah's complexity and character growth, writing that her bravery and perseverance are "incredibly inspiring to see in a young girl." [135] In a 2012 retrospective of Labyrinth, Vulture's Rebecca Milzoff found it "refreshing ... how Labyrinth offer[s] up a different kind of heroine than the Disney princess movies", as Sarah's goal is not to fall in love or find a husband. [136] Contrasting Labyrinth to contemporary 1980s films about teenagers, Sarah Monette of Uncanny Magazine found Sarah's character offers teenage girls the "vanishingly rare" message that "it's okay not to want the sexualized, exaggeratedly feminine version of adulthood represented by [Sarah's] ridiculous white dress" and that having a boyfriend "is not a victory condition" nor essential to growing up.
