On December 1, 2009, it was announced that Alan Silvestri would compose the film score.[1][2] Silvestri recorded his score with a 90-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox.[3] Silvestri incorporated the theme from the television series composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter, besides composing new themes for the film. Dean Parks performed solo guitars in the film score.[3]
Critical reception
Thomas Glorieux of Maintitles wrote "if they would have thrown away 20 minutes of its boring second part, The A-Team would have humorously killed you fools, even without its classic main theme at the end."[4] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "a very, very good album is in here somewhere; sadly that's not what we were given."[5] James Christopher Monger of AllMusic wrote "while his take on the bloodless vigilantes' shenanigans hardly merits comparison to his work on the Back to the Future trilogy, Silvestri has managed to successfully blend the cheesy, pioneering spirit of Mike Post and Pete Carpenter's iconic A-Team theme with the reverb-drenched, military snare, Hans Zimmer-inspired bravado of modern war/action films."[6]Filmtracks.com wrote "If only Silvestri's approach had been as enthusiastically memorable, then perhaps a plan for the score truly would have come together."[7] Richard Propes of The Independent Critic was critical of the film's score calling it as "limp and unimaginative".[8]
