Reception

Laura Sirikul of Empire called it as a "jaunty" score, [4] while The Playlist's Rodrigo Perez called the score as "outstanding". [5] Patrick Gibbs of Slug Magazine opined that the score "keeps the rousing sense of suspense, adventure and unbridled fun going full force from the first frame to the last". [6] Critic based on Nerds & Beyond called Pemberton's score as one of the "favorite creative aspects of the film" adding "There were several moments throughout the sequel that the combination of what I was seeing with what I was hearing from Pemberton’s beautiful music gave me goosebumps." [7] Kevin Harley of GamesRadar+ wrote that Pemberton's "typically nimble score handles the tonal swerves nicely". [8] Gisanne Sophia of Marvelous Geeks Media wrote "the Enola Holmes 2 original score, much like the initial release, brings something so effortlessly lively to the musical world. The sounds are adventurous, distinct, and so tastefully done to create something profoundly memorable. The films are as appealing because the soundtrack goes hand-in-hand with creating a marvelous, enjoyable gem to watch despite the heavy topics the cases bring to the surface." [9]

Filmtracks.com wrote "Altogether, the themes for Enola Holmes 2 represent an interesting extension of everything heard in the first score but without some of the expected applications. The fact that some of the massively tonal choral highlights of this score's second half don't make use of clearly delineated themes is disappointing. The character of Pemberton's instrumentation and rhythmic choices are more than enough to suffice to keep the work consistent, though. He continues to provide a unique spirit for this concept's music that balances period expectations with quirky enthusiasm, and while some listeners may not appreciate the prancing waltz movements that sometimes result, the whole functions. It may not be as strong or refreshingly appealing as Enola Holmes on album, but the sequel retains enough of the same personality and themes to merit a recommendation." [10]
