Reception
Critics praised the soundtrack for its careful song selection and how well it matched the film's scenes, with one noting it creates a feeling of youthful freedom in a simpler era. The score was also highlighted for deepening the story and making audiences care about the characters. The mix of tracks was described as an eclectic journey through melancholic woodwinds, bittersweet piano, tender vocals, and pop sounds from the 1960s and 1970s that illuminate the story. Another review called both the soundtrack and the film a realistic and enchanting portrayal of the spontaneity of youth.
