Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic, while noting that the entire album was well-produced, stated that "there is a noticeable lack of memorable material, leaving the record as nothing but a pleasant genre exercise.

"[1] Critic David Browne in an Entertainment Weekly article graded it a "B−", calling most of the soundtrack "more workmanlike than inspired," like the song "Later On" by Casual.

[2] Billboard's Larry Flick said the single release of "Get the Girl, Grab the Money, and Run" "stirs up some troublesome soul", but called its B-side, two different versions of "Later On", "the real gem".
