| AllMusic |   [2] |
| Entertainment Weekly | A−[3] |
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised it for being "a surprisingly effective and useful collection of electronica, offering a good overview and introduction to many of the genre's biggest artists", despite a "few mediocre cuts" from Superior and Duran Duran, concluding that "on the whole, it's one of the few soundtracks that works better as an album than as a movie."[2] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called it a "consistent, multitextured collection", concluding that: "Even with melodramatic synthpop by Duncan Sheik and Duran Duran, The Saint Music From the Motion Picture Soundtrack is as moody and alluring as ol' Val himself."[3]
