[6] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "The score as a whole may be somewhat disposable fun but it is fun, blessed at times with the same kind of swagger and twinkle in the eye as the Pirates of the Caribbean scores at their best (if not the array of strong themes) – “The Dragon Warrior" for instance is an action highlight that really is Zimmer at his lighthearted but boisterous best.

"[7] Filmtracks.com wrote "The album nicely consolidates the song placements to its conclusion, but the score selections are not provided in film order.

Still, don't be surprised if you append a handful of cues from this score to any compilation of favorites from the stronger Kung Fu Panda 2.

"[8] Pete Simons of Synchrotones gave 4/5 to the score saying "Hans Zimmer’s Kung Fu Panda 3 is an incredibly fun ride in a fast machine.

"[9] Unger the Radar wrote "Hans Zimmer is a truly great composer and he is celebrated the world over for his diverse and powerful music.

"[10] Writing for Blueprintreview, Judomeh gave 4 out of 5 stars, saying "it was a nice little soundtrack for a much loved franchise which supports the film in the best possible way".
