As an early magical girl show, it's very interesting to watch as a modern viewer. A lot of the staple aspects of the magical girl genre weren't established back then and Creamy Mami was one of the shows to help set the ground work the genre.
Episodes bounce between silly hi-jinx and supernatural one shot stories that really differ in tone. Despite the shows overall lack of focus it's still well paced and enjoyable. The characters are incredibly simple and have simple dynamics but you still end up cheering for them and worrying about them. Creamy Mami's biggest flaw is probably the wasted story potential that was instead filled with incredibly minor characters. Creamy Mami's age shows for better or for worse. It has some gorgeous visual moments paired with some very cheap ones. Creamy Mami is still a lot of fun over all. Keeping in mind that it is a show aimed at little girls in the 80s, I'd recommend Creamy Mami to those who are either already fans of magical girl or early 80s aesthetic.
