Reception

The soundtrack received positive reviews from critics. Prahlad Srihari from Firstpost commented: "Occupying that nebulous zone between soundtrack and score, the Westworld music destined to endure will inevitably be Djawadi's covers. Stylistic gimmicks or not, these covers are infectiously catchy, and arguably boast a higher replay value than the series itself."[4] Alec Bojalad from Den of Geek stated: "The Westworld soundtrack quickly became partially defined by its minimalist piano covers of modern pop songs."[5] Jesse Schedeen from the IGN gave a positive review by stating: "Either way, whether you prefer your HBO dramas full of swords and dragons or psychologically tortured androids, Djawadi has the right music for any occasion."[6]
