Based on four reviews,Metacritic assigned theBreaking Dawn – Part 2 soundtrack anaverage score of 74, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[ 13] Heather Phares, reviewing forAllmusic , said "It's fitting that the film's soundtrack is dominated by ballads that feel like a long goodbye to Bella, Edward, and Jacob", and said "As with the other volumes of the series' music, however, this collection provides a surprisingly good showcase for female, indie-ish talent." Phares concluded, "WhileBreaking Dawn isn't one of the more dynamicTwilight Saga soundtracks, it is one of the more emotive ones, and just may help fans get some closure as one of the biggest film franchises of the 2000s and 2010s comes to a close."[ 7]
