The score featured a diverse collection of influences of music genres: European romanticism, quasi-classical, folk-pop and traditional elements of Parisian cafe sounds. The music received critical acclaim, praising it as one of Giacchino's best score in his career, and gave his first Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score, though losing to Atonement. However, Giacchino won the Annie Award for Best Music in a Feature Production, and his first Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album. Giacchino returned to Pixar to score their 2009 blockbuster Up. A remastered double LP was released by Mondo, 10 years after the film's release in November 2017.
