Reception

Music critic Jonathan Broxton called it as an "absolutely first-rate film score" further describing it as the "best score in the Kingsman series to date". He admitted that "the new themes that Margeson and Lewis wrote for the film are strong and memorable, and the way they arrange the themes to illustrate a wide range of emotions is impressive" which resulted in the score being the "unexpected, top-drawer surprise for the end of the year". [11] Filmtracks.com wrote "Margeson and Lewis do not match the tight narrative arc and snazzy appeal of Jackman's coordination in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. A better combined presentation of final and unused music would be merited." [12] Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com called it "excellent" and the "best in the franchise so far, benefitting that thanks to the period setting". [13]
