Zanobard Reviews wrote 7/10 and wrote "Steven Price’s propulsive score for The Running Man surges a determined theme for Ben Richards through a dark, moodily electronic dystopian soundscape, with a whistling Western-styled motif for the Hunters and a contrastingly upbeat piece for the Running Man show itself hurtling after him for a pretty relentless but nonetheless enjoyable soundtrack chase overall." [5]
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter and Owen Gleiberman of Variety described the score "exciting" and "thrilling". [6] [7] Ritika Srivastav of India Today wrote "Steven Price's music hits that commercial sweet spot." [8] Nikki Baughan of Screen International called it a "pounding score". [9] Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India wrote "Steven Price's pulsating score complements the relentless chase, ensuring the pace rarely dips". [10] Mark Hughes of Forbes described it "a propulsive score from Steven Price that teeters between adrenaline and irony". [11] Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting described it as "bombastic music".
