" Yamashiro has a much talent with "real" instruments and voices. And as far-out as Paprika gets, he keeps a smart balance between old-school composing and state-of-the-art sampling- the kind of sound that transcends cartoon music boundaries" -- iF Magazine

" Interview: swinging with composer Christopher Young. Given numerous new characters, massive action sequences and a studio to please, Christopher Young has avoided the film's potential stylistic and political pitfalls with a dexterity that Spider-Man would" -- iF Magazine

" While the energy is positively infectious on screen, more than a bit is lost in translating it to the world of top-40 driven soundtracks, a place far more concerned with jamming Disney Radio-type hits that aren't actually in the film onto the soundtrack." -- iF Magazine
