Critical reception.
AllMusic wrote that "the soundtrack plays as a piece, with a moody, yet darkly alluring mood prevailing throughout ... should please fans of ambient, post rock experimentation, and smart, well-executed film music." "The Austin Chronicle" called the music "ethereal," writing that it "subtly enriches the sense of mystery that lies at the movie's core." "Vice" called it "both gorgeous and sad."
Alex Ross, in "The New Yorker", wrote: "Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie, in their score for the new Gregg Araki film "Mysterious Skin", do something wholly unexpected: as a horrendous story of child abuse in a Kansas town unfolds, the music sways toward a state of irrational bliss, as if to numb the pain."
