Reception

Gregory Heaney of AllMusic wrote "What makes the soundtrack work is that, like the film, it helps to set the mood for, it's more about goofy fun than edge-of-your-seat action, and really, if you've got to go out in an extinction-level event, you might as well do it in style." [3] Justin Chang of Variety called it as a "lively soundtrack". [4] Brad McHargue of Dread Central described it as "diverse and exceedingly appropriate". [5]

Original score

Henry Jackman composed the film's score. [6] Because of the apocalyptic element in the film, the comedy was "actually funnier the more the score commits to how serious the sinkholes and the demons and the purgatory and all the Biblical references and everything are"; [7] as the score becoming more serious, the characters would become funnier. [7] It served as the contradiction to the events and humor featured in the film. Jackman was inspired by Jerry Goldsmith's score for The Omen (1976). [8] Dominic Lewis and Matthew Margeson provided additional materials while Nick Glennie-Smith conducted the orchestral materials. [6]

The score album did not have a separate release in digital and physical formats. A promotional album for the score does exist, according to Soundtrack.Net featuring the complete score. [9] On January 28, 2015, the score was released along with that of his compositions for The Interview (2014) also directed by Rogen and Goldberg. [10]
