Reception

Giacchino's score received mixed to positive response from critics. Classic FM wrote "The bombastic nature of the music is what we've come to expect from Giacchino, and the underlying fantastical nature of the score easily transports the listener into this alternative world where dinosaurs run free." [22] Zanobard Reviews gave 8/10 to the score saying "Michael Giacchino's score for Jurassic World Dominion closes the musical book on the iconic dinosaur franchise in the best way possible really, bringing pretty much all of the established Giacchino and most of Williams' thematic material together with now even more new themes, resulting in an expansive orchestral tapestry that manages to stay entertaining pretty much throughout its entire two hour runtime, which is no easy feat." [23] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Giacchino clearly thrives on working on big franchises and it's so good that he's had the chance to see this sequel trilogy through. He also clearly loves writing this kind of monster music and this score features an absolute load of that. While the released lengthy album doesn't really do the score justice, there's no doubt how good it is at its peak and you don't really need to cut all that much out to enjoy it to its fullest potential." [24]

Music critic Jonathan Broxton wrote: "The score for Jurassic World: Dominion is long, more than an hour and 40 minutes, but it's one of those rare long scores that never runs out of steam or feels padded with filler. The narrative development of the score is such that no moments ever feel wasted or superfluous; the progression of the themes in a dramatic sense is excellent, especially the way the Biosyn theme gradually leaves its 'ooh-aah' initial feeling as the protagonists fly over the mountains, and becomes more sinister as Dodgson's plans are revealed; conversely, the way the Fallen Kingdom theme gradually becomes redemptive for Dr Wu feels like vindication for the man whose genetic experiments caused all this mayhem in the first place, but who eventually turns to to[sic] be the man who will save the world." [25] Filmtracks.com wrote "So much of Jurassic World: Dominion is generically rhythmic, even its heightened action material, that it really doesn't fit comfortably with its sibling scores. Suspense passages are often mundane and do too little to smartly exercise melodic constructs in conflict. The shift to electronic snazziness for chasing scenes is not a deal-breaker, but it seems beneath this franchise." [26]

Gisanne Sophia of Marvelous Geeks Media wrote "The Jurassic World Dominion original score is effortlessly transportive to keep in the background, and whether you've ever watched one of the films or not, you could (and should) still listen to the score. Where the film dives into nostalgic elements while propelling audiences to look towards the present, the music beautifully touches on the heart of the film. And while this is done throughout the entirety of the album, how the final song acts as a culmination of new and old is utterly masterful and goosebumps evoking. These very tracks could transport listeners towards places they might not have otherwise ventured to, and that's where a majority of its charm lies." [27] Scott Mendelson of Forbes called Giacchino's score as "haunting, especially during this brief digression". [28] Mark Kermode of The Guardian said "As for composer Michael Giacchino, he seems to have the mundane measure of it all, trowelling on the "piano-says-sad/strings-say-exciting" motifs in solidly indifferent workaday fashion" [29] and Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com opined that Giacchino's score "pours on sinister Arabic-African "exotic" cliches".
