Turbo (soundtrack)

† newer themes, not included in the soundtrack.

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic called the soundtrack as "fun and familiar".^[7] Calling it as "effortlessly charming", critic based at Movie Music Mania felt that the score rarely "meanders into a generic, comedic tone", but called it "enjoyable from start to finish".^[8] The review further hailed it as "one of the best animated film scores of the year".^[8] Joel Covey of Socal Thrills reviewed "The highlight remains Henry Jackman’s arrangements that surprisingly sound quite different from song to song and yet still retains the identity of the film. This is a great pick-up for some strong composed instrumental segments. The other songs may be considered just something extra that came with the score."^[9]

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called that Jackman's score "is nothing if not propulsive".^[10] Brent Simon of Screen International reviewed "composer Henry Jackman’s score doesn’t quite match the lively, creative heights he touched with his work on Wreck-It Ralph, it does hit all the proper keys of aural stimulation, especially in the movie’s energetic race sequences".^[11] Daniel Schweiger of Assignment X reviewed "Combining rocking action with Spaghetti western stylings and pokily suspenseful percussion, Jackman finally arrives at the Indy 500 with a fanfare that Superman himself would admire, then unleashes blazingly exciting music that flies by every rocking symphonic curve on the track. However, he doesn’t forget to play the heroic determination that propels the music."^[12] Nick Allen of Den of Geek commented the Pixar sensibilities of the film, commenting Jackman's music sounded like "it was swiped from Michael Giacchino’s trash bin when he was writing the music to Up".^[13]
