Filmtracks.com commented that Howard's music for The Hunger Games series started with lament in the first instalment, drama in the second and expanded to full action in the third instalment, with the score for Mockingjay β Part 2 "meanders between all three in this entry". [8] The review, although concerned with the highlights emulating Howard's score for The Last Airbender (2010), complimented that it provides a "noble send-off" to the musical franchise giving four stars to the album. [8] Marcy Donelson of AllMusic commented the score as "quietly tense, wistful, and explosive". [9]
Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair called the score as "alternately piercing and rousing", [10] while John Anderson of Time called the score as "moody". [11] Peter Debruge of Variety wrote Howard's score fluctuates from "soap-opera-style piano accents to full-blown action-movie bombast" while at moments becomes downright vital at the "film's claustrophobic sequence" where Katniss' squad battles head-to-head with the mutants at sewer system.
