Reception
Music critic Jonathan Broxton gave a mixed review for the soundtrack, saying "There’s nothing greatly wrong with The Legend of Tarzan in the bigger scheme of things; it’s functional, inoffensive, culturally respectful, and goes out of its way to mirror the current board-approved action music sound, which won’t upset any of the film’s key target demographics. "
