Notes
Aaron Williams of Uproxx said that the soundtrack understands the necessity of representing positively the title character's ethnic group, stating it "services this idea as admirably as the film's titular character does the legacy of his revered namesake", calling it "one of the best hip-hop-oriented film soundtracks ever created". [11] He called "Memories" "the sound of the vibrant culture of the melting pot", something he felt was also present in "Familia" which he called "a reggaeton track that Miles would almost certainly enjoy listening to alongside his streetwise, Puerto Rican mother Rio". [11] He also stated that "[t]he most impressive part is how the compilation hangs together as its own separate body of work". [11]
The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with 52,000 album-equivalent units, including 14,000 in pure album sales. [12] In the week ending January 17, 2019, the soundtrack moved up to number two, the highest it has ever been, mainly due to its lead single "Sunflower" hitting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 .

In July 2018, Daniel Pemberton was revealed to be scoring Into the Spider-Verse. [38] Pemberton said that "It has been such a pleasure to enter the Spider-Verse with such an amazing array of collaborators and truly ground-breaking directors", and said that "[he felt] so lucky to have been a part of it and to have the opportunity to create a whole new musical universe for one of the world's most beloved superheroes – Spider-Man". [39] Spring Aspers, head of music and creative affairs at Sony Pictures, praised Pemberton's score, calling it "a perfect blend of influences that captures Miles Morales's Brooklyn world and the film's inclusive, optimistic message of heroism: that when it's time to step up, anyone can wear the mask". [39] The score was released in both CD and digital formats, with the digital format featuring additional tracks to the CD version. [39]
