Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks wrote "Unlike Scooter Libby, Powell can be whole-heartedly pardoned for giving us that uneasy feeling." William Ruhlmann of AllMusic wrote "This is a score full of disturbingly dark and low-pitched sounds, no doubt supporting the mystery and suspense of the story." Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "pulsating score". A. O. Scott of The New York Times found it to be "adrenaline-pumping". Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com noted that Powell's score was reminiscent of his work from the Bourne trilogy. Justin Chang of Variety wrote "John Powell's music supports the action with an admirable lack of bombast."
