Reception

Isabella Soares of Collider commented that Desplat's score perfectly complimented the emotional moments, while further adding "This story is about triumph and exceeding expectations and the composer expertly evoke this in the viewer whenever a swimming sequence takes place. From Nyad's most terrifying encounters in the water (like an unnerving jellyfish event) to her being just a few miles away from getting to Florida's shore, the score accompanies these shots perfectly, with pauses now and then to gain momentum." [6] Peter Travers of ABC News wrote "composer Alexandre Desplat propel the action at a furious clip". [7] Below the Line critic Edward Douglas wrote "Nyad's biggest outright ringer is Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat, who knows how to create the right balance between inspiring orchestral fireworks and helping to create the necessary tension on whether Nyad might succeed. To some, this might be one of Desplat’s more heavy-handed scores, yet it still generally works." [8] Rex Reed of Observer described it as "magnetic". [9]
