"Anyone who is familiar with, and likes, the music of Downton Abbey will feel exactly the same about the movie score. The reprises of the main themes are like welcoming back old friends, while the new themes associated with the King royal party simply add to the excellence of the existing repertoire ... Put on your morning suit, pour yourself a cup of tea or a large brandy, break out the cucumber sandwiches, and let the nostalgic sounds of post-Edwardian England wash over you".

"The big screen version of Downton Abbey is very much a continuation of the above-and-below-stairs odyssey begun by its small screen forbear. Business-as-usual for this comeback, then, and the same applies to the music, thanks heavens, as composer John Lunn and the Chamber Orchestra of London return too. This album of the score is filled with the familiar themes, stirring orchestral flurries and wistful musical meanderings that the show's fans have come to know and love. The pomp is perhaps heightened in places, but Lunn's talent for melodrama and mellow drama is as finely tuned as it ever has been. Downtown has never sounded better".
