Filmtracks [ 2] Movie Music UK wrote "The style is so all-over the place, jumping from pastiche to pastiche, with excellent moments sometimes lasting no longer than 30 or 40 seconds, it’s frustrating to sit and listen to."[ 3] Variety [ 4] Animated Views wrote "Even composer John Powell, taking over from the original’s David Newman, provides some less cookie-cutter cues than he does for his DreamWorks movies, and several times through the movie the music called attention to itself for all theright reasons as opposed to being shoehorned in. I might even say that this is Powell’s best animation work in a long while."[ 5]
