Reception

Filmtracks.com wrote "The gypsy and folk instrumentation is mildly obnoxious, and although the album does include the Mizzy song adaptation heard over the end credits, it is missing other notable songs heard on screen. It's a solid souvenir from this film, but seek out Shaiman's music from the live-action entries for a better concept listening experience." [16]

Accolades

Mychael and Jeff won the BMI Film & TV Awards in 2020, [17] [18] and also won two SOCAN Awards for Achievement in Feature Film Music and International Film Music Award in 2022. [19] The track "Haunted Heart" received a nomination for the Best Original Song in an Animated Film at the 2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards lost to "Beautiful Life" from Abominable (2019). [20]
