Critics were positive towards the game’s music.

The A.V. Club’s Nathan Rabin called the original songs “rocking, diverse, and unforgettable”, further writing that they “remind us that videogame music can be made by talented human beings, not just faceless corporate robots”. However, Rabin was less fond of theifting from other games in the series, writing that it was an example of “how sequels often rely on aping instead of innovating”.
