Dave Valentine of Square Enix Music Online gave the soundtrack an eight out of ten, and said that it features a wide variety of ominous orchestral pieces, and each composers' contributions seems slightly more distinctive than the previous installment.Spence D. of IGN wrote that the score, "is an impressive orchestral accomplishment within the ever-growing and constantly changing arena of videogame composition," but that it was aimed more towards the gaming experience of God of War II rather than being a stand alone musical experience. At the 2007 Spike Video Game Awards, the score was nominated for Best Original Score.
