Notes

Reception

Tall Writer of Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote that "Solid entertainment and some education on the classics make the Despicable Me 3 original motion picture soundtrack a decent offering". [5] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called the songs as "catchy" and praised Williams' songs and "the music cues ranging from Michael Jackson to Van Halen to A-ha". [6] Peter Debruge of Variety said "the movie can hardly find room for Heitor Pereira's funky score, and though Pharrell Williams has contributed five new songs to sell soundtracks (including the sweet 'There's Something Special'), the movie hardly needs them." [7]

Wenlei Ma of News.com.au wrote about the use of 80s pop hits to equate Bratt's character, received praise and called that "audience might tap toes for the songs". [8] Rotoscopers-based Morgan Stradling said "One thing that Despicable Me has always done well is a great soundtrack and these new tracks do not disappoint. They are catchy, upbeat and very much on brand for the franchise, especially since Pharrell Williams is at the helm yet again. While there isn't a runaway hit like 'Happy' from the second film, the songs that are in the movie play well in the moment." [9] The soundtrack received a mixed review from Soumya Srivatsava of Hindustan Times , who said "The soundtrack, with all the throwback hits from the ‘80s, gets you tapping your feet more often. However, even with all the work done by Pharell Williams on this one, he couldn’t deliver another 'Happy' like last time." [10]
