Reception

[edit]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote "[the tunes] holds together pretty well, even through the rough spots, and can even dispel the suspicion that, with all the remixes and emphasis on modern soul, this soundtrack is the most calculated Austin Powers record yet."[8] Josh Tyrangiel of Entertainment Weekly gave a B- rating to the album, where "nothing here is too inspired".[9]
