Andrew Leahey of Allmusic rated the album three and a half stars out of five, saying "With music playing such an integral role in the story line, it's refreshing to see that the accompanying soundtrack does its job well, distilling the characters' record collections (not to mention the movie's quirky, nostalgic ambiance) into one eclectic track list." [4] A review from Sputnikmusic called it as "a mandatory component to the movie for those who loved it" and "a worthwhile listen even for those who didn't". [5] Jeniffer Cooke of PopMatters said that " The music isn’t just confined to the soundtrack — it colors the story to the point where it almost becomes another character in the script". [6]
