Reception

The score received a largely positive reception. Tim Grierson of Screen International and Maya Phillips of The New York Times described Reznor and Ross's score as "dazzling" and "killer", both praising the duo's use of energetic pieces contrasted with softer ones.[1][2] DiscussingFilm's Andrew J. Salazar felt that the duo were "the perfect match for TMNT", adding that they captured "the youthful energy of the four turtle brothers".[3] Rafael Motomayor of /Film also described the score as youthful, feeling that it was bold and new for the duo. He also commended the film's use of needle drops, which he stated felt "engineered to school illumination on how to properly use licenced music".[4] Isaac Feldberg of Above the Line said that the score shared the film's "sense of impassioned creativity and relentless forward momentum".[5] MovieWeb ranked it as the third-best among Reznor and Ross's scores, praising its "garage band vibe" and teenage energy.[6]
