Critical reception
[edit]Scott Foundas of Variety wrote "The score by frequent Miyazaki collaborator Joe Hisaishi recalls Nino Rota in its lilting accordion-and-mandolin main theme."[3] Dana Stevens of Slate called it as a "romantic orchestral score".[4] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap wrote "Joe Hisaishi contributes another in his series of legendary scores for the director."[5]
