When it came to criticism, the second part of the soundtrack fell through, especially since all of the hits were already on the first part and the soundtrack was like a quick shot. In the charts, however, the album was very successful and reached first places in the German, Austrian and Swiss charts. The album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 and UK Top 40 .
