Reception
Daisy Jones of Vice wrote "One of the weirdest things about the Run Lola Run soundtrack,though,is that it literally doesn’t stop. There might be a few brief moments here and there in which the music fades –some dialogue that requires your full attention,a micro pause between songs –but in general,the music is relentless,like an extended music video [...] the music in Run Lola Run somehow manages to find this energy and capture it." [2] Dan Lucas of Drowned in Sound wrote "The music is as important as anything else in the film. This is Lola Rennt Original Soundtrack,not Lola Rennt:Original Soundtrack nor Lola Rennt –Original Soundtrack;there is no separation. The film would not work without its music and its music does not work without the film. This is 50% of something. It is Marge’solo spin-off." [3]
Kali Wallace of Reactor complimented the score,saying "it's fast-paced,bass-heavy techno that starts as soon as the film begins and never lets up [...] for the most part,the entire film is accompanied by that amazing,unrelenting techno score. It’s techno not just because it comes from Germany in the ’90s,but because one of the most familiar traits of techno is its layered,rhythmic,looping structure,where musical patterns and themes are repeated,altered,and piled atop each other with no real sense of beginning or end. The ways the music echoes the structure the film are obvious:the rhythm of Lola’s footsteps as she runs,the way each loop serves as a variation on the same theme,the way the music pauses when the story’s forward momentum pauses." [4] Pitchfork rated 4.9 out of 10 and wrote "if you're one of the many getting hooked on this film,and you need a better soundtrack for your hours spent in front of the Playstation,this could hit the spot." [5] Andy Hinds of AllMusic wrote "this is one of the most cohesive soundtrack albums in recent memory,and the music is excellent." [6]
