"This is a frustrating score as heard on the over-long album. In its lighter moments, I love the way Gregson-Williams mixes the western orchestra with ethnic Chinese touches - it's often a fertile ground for film music composers, that - but too often the music just drifts off into anonymous territory which doesn't seem to exploit the musical possibilities presented by a film like this nearly as well as it could, particularly in its bland action sequences. I was hoping for more".

"... Mulan 2020 does everything it is supposed to do, and does it well. The main theme, while a touch generic, and despite it having a hint of Rachel Portman to it, is nevertheless strong and memorable, and the way Gregson-Williams adapts it into several different action guises is impressive. The tasteful use of Chinese and other regional ethnic instruments alongside the western orchestra is handled well; that sound has always been a favorite of mine, so I'm predisposed to like it. The action music is loud and impressively staged although, again, I do think that some people will react a little negatively to the electronic elements. Finally, the use of the Wilder/Zippel song melodies is done with style and respect, and I have no doubt that many will return to "Mulan Rides into Battle" frequently as a score highlight. Overall, this new score is likely to quickly establish itself as one of the best action-adventure scores of 2020".
