They noted Henry Mancini's memorable theme music, describing it as fitting for the film's "male menopause fantasy" tone. The review singled out Julie Andrews' vocal performance on "He Pleases Me" as suitable for Adult Contemporary (A/C) radio, while also praising the instrumental version of "Don’t Call It Love" and Dudley Moore's piano solo on "It's Easy To Say" as ideal for Beautiful Music stations.

Marchese highlighted Real Gone Music's reissue as a long-overdue correction, praising its inclusion of Ravel's "Bolero" (a key track from the film) and new liner notes by Frank DeWald. He framed the CD release as essential for Mancini fans, who consider the 10 score among the composer's finest work.Marchese Joe Real Gone Captures David Allan Coe, Eddy Arnold, Blue Öyster Cult, Henry Mancini and More! - The Second Disc https://theseconddisc.com/2013/03/15/real-gone-captures-david-allan-coe-eddy-arnold-blue-oyster-cult-henry-mancini-and-more/ The Second Disc 7 April 2025 https://web.archive.org/web/20130721081023/https://theseconddisc.com/2013/03/15/real-gone-captures-david-allan-coe-eddy-arnold-blue-oyster-cult-henry-mancini-and-more/ 21 July 2013 15 March 2013 live Track listing 10 - Original Motion Picture Sound Track Performer(s) 38:30 Don't Call It Love (Main Title) (Instrumental) Henry Mancini, Carole Bayer Sager 1:19 He Pleases Me H.
