Reception

Peter Debruge of Variety and David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called it "functional" and "symphonic". [6] [7] Mark Feeney of The Boston Globe wrote "The one thing to be said for Theodore Shapiro’s muscularly egregious score is that the music makes it marginally easier to miss what the characters are saying." [8] Vinayak Chakravorty of Firstpost noted that the background score "you’d feel you’ve heard once too often". [9] Reviewing for the musical piece "The Stymph", Owen Danoff of Screen Rant said that it was "reminiscent of some of Theodore Shapiro's action work in films like Tropic Thunder and 2016's Ghostbusters, with a whimsical edge that firmly roots it in the fantastical world of The School for Good and Evil. Driving percussion and soaring vocals pair with horns and the rest of the orchestra to create a soundscape that is at times suspenseful and at times triumphant." [2]
