Rick Florino of Artistdirect cited the album as the "best soundtrack of the year" and said it was "everything it should be and so much more"[4] while Heather Phares of Allmusic was displeased with the lack of tracks composed by Bear McCreary that appear in the series, saying it "should please fans who enjoy the show's overall mood" but that "it doesn't capture its essence the way a soundtrack with more of McCreary's score would have."[3]
