Allmusic's Stephen Cook describes the score as having a "Henry Mancini inspired sound", with "excellent contributions from Toots Thielemans and Harry "Sweets" Edison".

Jones collaborated with Peggy Lee on the songs "Happy Feet" and "Stay with Me". Jones was recommended to score the film by its star, Cary Grant, who had met him through Peggy Lee. This was Cary Grant's last film.
