Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "One could cite every track here as extraordinary in some way, but taken as a whole, this soundtrack throws down the gauntlet to almost anyone composing film music -- especially for a chamber ensemble -- today. Morricone is still the king, but one can envision him applauding the elegance, taste, and slow-burning fire in this score".
