Critical reception

This mixture leads to the soundtrack that captures the essence seamlessly." [16] SLUG Magazine-based Patrick Gibbs wrote "The first rate musical score by Jackman, expertly moves between comically bouncy, rousingly adventurous and quietly touching, and it’s one of the year’s best." [17] In a more critical review for the film, Associated Press based Mark Kennedy criticised the original song "Sunshine" by Liam Payne as a "pale imitation of Maroon 5's song". [18]
