Reception
In a three out of five stars review Movie Wave stated: "Monsters, Inc. makes for generally a very entertaining and satisfying album, but despite all the comments above, Newman is at his best when scoring serious drama like Awakenings and Avalon and I hope that he manages to squeeze some of those in along with the inevitable Pixar projects to come his way over the coming years."[6] Soundtrack.Net rated the soundtrack three and a half stars out of five and wrote: "It's nothing groundbreaking or unexpected—it's just high quality work from Randy Newman."[7]
