Following the film's premier at
Cannes Film Festival, Lopatin's score won the festival's Soundtrack Award. It was later released as an album via
Warp Records. The album has received generally positive reviews from critics, with an aggregate score of 79 out of 100 at
Metacritic. Ashley Hampson of
Exclaim! wrote that "there's no doubt
Good Time OST absolutely sounds like a movie score, but every single track here stands on its own, providing an intensely emotional punch to the gut." Sean O'Neal of
The A.V. Club called it "a masterful job of homage, and—as with
Thief and
Drive before it—all those pulsating synths and cavernous low tones give the film much of its swagger."
Q stated that "its tight-wound
electronica is perfect for anyone wanting a visual-free sensation of mounting suspense in the comfort of their own home." Ben Beaumont-Thomas of
The Guardian noted the inspiration of composers such as
John Carpenter,
Brad Fiedel, and
Vangelis but stated that "the sheer density and erratic energy is all Lopatin’s own." He described Iggy Pop's guest appearance as one of the singer's "great late-period triumphs." ==The Pure and the Damned video==
