Critical reception

Filmtracks wrote "the culmination of all these composers' efforts is a score that is sufficient in its pleasant, light-hearted tone but has frightfully little substance or narrative cohesion to its themes, the songs only throwing the soundtrack further into disarray."^[1] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote "the score, co-composed by Hans Zimmer, is a lyrical, lovely piece of work. It carries the viewer along, fluidly tying together the worlds of The Little Prince (both the girl's and the story of the prince)."^[2] Katy Waldman of Slate wrote "Richard Harvey and Hans Zimmer's twinkling celestial score sounds like a childhood music box heard through internal fog."^[3] Tim Grierson of Screen International summarized that the score "emphasises the film's big emotions".^[4]

Scott Foundas of Variety wrote "In lieu of traditional musical numbers, composers Hans Zimmer and Richard Harvey provide a suitably wispy, wistful underscore, interlaced with a few original ballads performed by French chanteuse Camille and several classic chansons francises from the immortal Charles Trenet."^[5] Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "The score credited to Hans Zimmer and Richard Harvey, featuring the voice of Camille has sweep without overwhelming the action".^[6] Stephen Holden of The New York Times called it as a "jazzy period score",^[7] while Aja Romano of Vox called it as a "lush score".^[8] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood wrote "Hans Zimmer and Richard Harvey's score hits all the right notes in setting a sweet tone."^[9]
