I have very mixed feelings on this one. There were a lot of little details I liked: the soundtrack is great, the gag with the chameleon circuit is fun, Lytton's potential for redemption in new and interesting. I also appreciate the body horror and the reminder of what Cybermen actually are under all that metal; that's exactly what I'm looking for with a Cyberman story, even if it didn't do quite as much with it as I would have liked.

On the other hand, this story was terribly paced, tonally inconsistent, and poorly executed. Like with The Twin Dilemma, a few more passes with a red pen might have saved it.
