| | IGN: Big Fish: Music From The Motion Picture Review |
 | | Elfman's score is a wonderful balance of introspective bittersweetness and whimsical fantasia, which begins with "Pictures," a quietly brief interlude that mixes strings and distant piano into a wash of memory, loss, and joy. |
 | | It melts into "Big Fish (Titles)", which set the recurring tone of the film with the aforementioned mixture of sadness and joy thanks to swelling strings, nice minimalistic piano, and an overall sense of emotion. |
 | | Almost too short in length to be considered actual songs, they work more as animated and engaging scene cues, short pieces that have been crafted to heighten the dramatic tension of specific scenes in the film. |
