My big expectation for the sequel was that it would fix and improve the janky nature of the original and smooth it out with a more friendly introduction for new players, and that's pretty much how it rolls. I very much appreciate the practice tutorials before each song, the expanded game world of PaRappa, and the more forgiving button input. It does what any good sequel should, and it's pretty much up to preference whether you think the original had stronger songs than the sequel. There is really nothing much to complain for a well-put rhythm game.
