AllMusic editor Marcy Donelson noted that that Bridget Jones's Baby "features a mix of classic R&B and contemporary dance-pop highlighted by the original song 'Still Falling for You' by Ellie Goulding." He concluded: "Though mostly danceable, the soundtrack winds down with two pieces of original score material from composer Craig Armstrong." [4] Graham Clark, writing for The Yorkshire Times , rated the album four out of five stars and wrote: "Basically the album is a mixture of old and new. If you have seen the film you will remember the songs but the album is worth getting even if you have not seen the film as it stands up in its own right." [3] Bustle 's Jenn Ficarra called the album "an excellent soundtrack chock full of hits. Seriously, what's on the Bridget Jones's Baby soundtrack is truly impressive, and fans will certainly want to check these songs out." [5]
