The Joy of Movies wrote "this soundtrack is all in good fun and makes for a quite enjoyable ride."[4] James Southall of Movie Wave gave a mixed review to the album, saying "Quite who the rest of the album’s meant to appeal to – its curious mix of awful versions of decent songs, decent original recordings of songs and score which spends much of its time referencing other music just doesn’t work."[5] James Christopher Monger of AllMusic wrote "Five of the thirteen tracks are Zimmer instrumentals, and while they may not be as memorable as anything from the Lion King, each piece dutifully projects the composer's mastery of the genre."[1]Filmtracks.com wrote "like Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a much larger share of score material needed to be included on the commercial album for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. The third score may not be as cohesive as the second, but it also deserves better treatment despite its questionable Holkenborg contributions."[6]
