Here are the main points:
Policy
She is going to implement her plan regarding an "opportunity economy." This includes bringing down the cost of everyday goods and extending the child tax credit to $6,000. She is also focusing on investing in small businesses and addressing the cost of housing (which includes a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers). You can find out more about her opportunity economy here:

She confirms that she does not want to ban fracking, and she will not do so as president. This is a change from her previous stance, although she claims she has not changed her values and her determination to create a green economy.
Madam Vice President has also vowed to address illegal immigration and she plans to increase the number of border patrol agents.
Personal Life
Kamala spoke a bit about old man Joe Biden. She doesn't regret endorsing him and claiming that he is fit to serve another four years in office. She is also proud to have served as his Vice President. She also discussed when she discovered that old man Joe Biden is dropping out of the race. It was a Sunday and she was spending time with her family. Just as they were sitting down to do a puzzle, old man Joe Biden called and announced that he is pulling out of the race. She didn't have to ask for his endorsement.
She didn't have much to say regarding Trump's attack on her race. He argued that she is claiming Blackness for political reasons. Kamala claims that Trump is using the "same old tired playbook".
Lastly, she spoke about the viral image of her and her grand niece. She says she was deeply touched by it, and that it was very humbling.
Public Reception
Ben Shapiro describes it as a "car crash interview" and he argues that it was boring and not a lot happened.
Sky News also gave a scathing reaction, claiming it wasn't an interview but a campaign ad instead. It is described as a "promo puff piece".
Not all reactions have been negative. You can see this on Reddit where user /u/Buttfulloffricks argues that Kamala knocked it out the park.
/u/flyoverliberal claims the following: "Lots of pointless gotcha questions instead of actually seeking information. Harris and Walz did well."
In a thread created by /u/ac_slater10, the user gives the overall interview a B+.

Conclusion
I'll be honest - I think it was a softball interview, and they didn't ask enough hard questions. It started off well but went downhill quickly. There is some merit to calling it a puff piece. Nevertheless, I'm glad that they spent time discussing policy, especially regarding creating a green economy. I'll give the overall interview 7/10 Hollys.

I'm surprised at the lack of any meaningful policy detail. I get that CNN will accept just about any non-answer but child tax credit isn't going to solve the economic problems faced.
Of course the wingcucks will say "there you go, she has a policy!", but it strikes me as her giving as little as possible. Promise nothing and you can't fail to deliver.

Her policy stances are insanely unpopular, especially in swing states, so she won't commit to policy and is just running on vibes atp.

I just don't get it. A >40 minute interview is cut down to under 20 mins, and this is the best they can show? When you're asked how you'll fix a big issue you're supposed to use that opportunity to put forward your headline policy, not this weak shit.
"How will you tackle illegal Immigration?"
"Build a wall!"
"It's already illegal"

She said that same thing about reparations, apparently child tax credits for rednecks with 12 kids will solve everything that black americans are asking for reparations to solve
