Reception
James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Given how bitty it is and that many of the cues consist of a number of shorter ones pasted together, it’s impressive that it stands up as a listening experience as well as it does – and testament to the composer’s skill at crafting decent music for just about any kind of film."[10] Filmtracks.com wrote " there are many things to admire about Debney's continued mastery of the children's genre in The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, but this kind of music will test your tolerance for the genre after twenty minutes."[11]
