Filmtracks wrote "The overall impression Powell leaves is one of workmanlike craftsmanship. You can't fault him for providing this effective music, but for those who don't pay close attention to the slight variations in these types of works, all of it will continue to sound the same. Approach its extremely lengthy album (a hindrance here, perhaps) only if you maintain a healthy collection of Powell's streamlined music for the genre." [2] Jonathan Broxton of Movie Music UK wrote "The style is so all-over the place, jumping from pastiche to pastiche, with excellent moments sometimes lasting no longer than 30 or 40 seconds, it’s frustrating to sit and listen to." [3] Joe Leydon of Variety considered the score as "enjoyable". [4] Ben Simon of Animated Views wrote "Even composer John Powell, taking over from the original’s David Newman, provides some less cookie-cutter cues than he does for his DreamWorks movies, and several times through the movie the music called attention to itself for all the right reasons as opposed to being shoehorned in. I might even say that this is Powell’s best animation work in a long while." [5]
