 | | SHREK was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. |
 | | Starting off with Smash Mouth’s aging and relentlessly overplayed “All Star” isn’t such a great idea, and sometimes the hits seem to be in the movie simply because DreamWorks has retained their rights from other projects (“Bad Reputation” previously saw service as the theme to DreamWorks’ lamented dramedy Freaks and Geeks). |
 | | More attention is due John Powell and Nick Glennie-Smith’s nicely romantic score, which blends Korngold-like flourishes (as briefly sampled at the end of the album in “True Love’s First Kiss”) with an effectively eerie, sirenlike romantic melody. |
