Heather Phares of AllMusic gave Charmed: The Book of Shadows three stars out of five and praised the way in which the soundtrack "streamlines its approach", in comparison to the first soundtrack album, by focusing on a wide variety of female artists, echoing the theme of female empowerment raised in the television series. [1] However, she also noted that its contents had little in relation to the show itself. Nonetheless, Phares concluded that the album "plays a lot more like a handmade mixtape or playlist than a soundtrack full of promotional opportunities, which can only be to its credit." [1] On May 7, 2005, Charmed: The Book of Shadows debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard Top Soundtracks chart [5] and number 20 on the US Billboard Top Independent Albums chart. [6]
