Reception

The review aggregator website Metacritic assigned a score 79 out of 100 to the album, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [13] Jayson Greene of Pitchfork rated 7.3/10 to the album, saying "Like the movie, the soundtrack is a pungent, incoherent, occasionally haunting trifle. The feeling is of a bunch of intelligent and talented people trying on a bunch of funny-colored clothing and giggling at each other. If you're not wearing the costumes, there's a limit to just how entertained by all of it you can be." [14] Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote "In its own way, Inherent Vice is as subtly and carefully crafted as Greenwood's other scores for Anderson's films, but its wit and heart make it special in its own right." [15]

Sean Wilson of Music Files wrote "Greenwood has established a recognisable musical voice over just five feature films, and although Inherent Vice is almost certainly the most straightforward of all his scores, it still retains the technical complexity for which he's renowned." [16] Joe Goggins of Drowned In Sound gave 7 out of 10 to the album and wrote Greenwood's "non-Radiohead output has always been interesting and has often been compelling". [17] Will Schube of Passion of the Weiss wrote "The soundtrack’s an easy listen, partially because Greenwood’s work is less demanding, but also in how the record’s sequencing intersperses underground classics of the 70s among the original work." [18] Ben Hogwood of MusicOMH rated three-and-a-half out of five, saying "this is undoubtedly Greenwood’s work, and he writes with ever-growing assurance and colour, broadening the orchestral palette. It’s just a shame this album as a whole could not be arranged in a more satisfying way". [19]
