Reception
Music critic Jonathan Broxton wrote "Tomorrowland pushes all the right buttons and hits all the right marks, standing as one of the year’s best scores to date."[4] Thomas Glorieux of Maintitles.net wrote "Perhaps too long for repeated listens, Tomorrowland nonetheless remains a breath of fresh air if you compare it with most scores of this year."[5] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Tomorrowland is right up there with Ratatouille, undoubtedly more saccharine but that’s kept in check just enough that it is never a problem [...] It’s a long album but never seems so, with constant energy and enthusiasm proving infectious."[6]
Tim Grierson of Screen International called it as "joyful"[7] while Todd McCarthy of
The Hollywood Reporter stated that the score "energetically pushes things along".[8] David Edelstein of
Vulture wrote "composer Michael Giacchino lovingly conjure up the kid-movie era of high-school science fairs and friendly giant robots".[9] Greg Cwilk of IndieWire called "Michael Giacchino channels John Williams for his rousing score, though he goes more for mood than themes."[10]
