Critical reception
Filmtracks.com wrote "Powell doesn't seem to have poured a tremendous amount of effort into Knight and Day when comparing it to his concurrent projects, but it's a basically adequate, inoffensive score that may inspire his collectors in some parts." Thomas Glorieux of Maintitles.net wrote "Knight and Day of John Powell is another solid bet, and the fans will surely receive some moments they'll adore for a long time, but it also misses something that may disappoint you." Sean Wilson of MFiles wrote "Ultimately, while Knight and Day may not appear to offer anything new, it invites, as do all Powell's efforts, closer inspection to dig out all the nuances and witty touches and layers of invention. It's another fine effort from the most dynamic and versatile of modern film composers." James Christopher Monger of AllMusic wrote "Like the film itself, the Knight and Day soundtrack keeps its tongue firmly planted in its cheek." James Southall of Movie Wave, in a four-star rating called it as Powell's "most entertaining album in a couple of years". Justin Chang of Variety admitted that Powell's "surging" score outlined the film's tonal inconsistencies.
