"The compilation offers great songs abound, to be sure - the aforementioned Hill and Stallion songs, "Yo Love" by Vince Staples - but you're no sooner getting into the album that you're hit with the aforementioned "Catch The Sun" and it's as jarring as a record scratch; and the album really could have done without The-Dream's "Cedes-Benz" - that disrupts the flow. Nevertheless, the Queen & Slim soundtrack is a tome to the racial tensions of the 21st century and a worthy addition to any Hip Hop fan's collection".

"Vince Staples, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Megan Thee Stallion, and more come together for the soundtrack to the modern-day Bonnie-and-Clyde parable, set against a backdrop of police brutality ... The traffic stop is the jumping-off point-for Queen and Slim's romance, for their lives as outlaws, and for their representation as avatars for black grief and retribution. It is the axis upon which the entire movie turns, and the soundtrack's inability to unpack that is anticlimactic".

"Et album med 16 sange fra hiphop-og soulkunstnere. En del fra nu og her, nogle med deres storhedstid i svundne årtier, herunder 90'er-ikonet Lauryn Hill og deltablues-guitaristen Little Freddie King, der lyste i 70'erne ... De fleste sange er (...) skrevet til soundtracket og fungerer fint som kortlæggelser af forholdet mellem Queen & Slim samt som ledsager gennem plottet. Som et hørefilmisk alternativ til selve filmen ... Musikken holder hele vejen, og der er ægte fremragende tracks ... Albummets kronjuvel er Lauryn Hills comebacksang »Guarding The Gates« [som] er hendes første sang i fem år. Det er en seks minutter lang supernova i slowmotion. Et univers fyldt af glasklingende guitarekkoer, sprøde akkorder, cirklende strygere, hjertesugende bas [og] tindrende harpe".
