Track listing
Reception John DeFore of Variety and Peter Debruge of The Hollywood Reporter described the score as "thrilling" and "bombastic". Xanthe Pajarillo of KXSC wrote "Dave Sardy opts for an unconventional score that mashes up Western and country licks with eerie tones of dread" and concluded, "this is an extremely bold, unique, and tasty collection of cues that leaves you wanting more."
