Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated 3 out of 5, summarizing "the soundtrack balances '60s pop hits with '90s songs that wryly rework those swinging styles."
Original score
The original score to the film composed by George S. Clinton was released on November 7, 2000, through RCA Victor records label. Tracks 1–7 represent the score composed for International Man of Mystery.
Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks wrote "if you're looking for a more consistent vintage spy parody listening experience, Shearmur's Johnny English is easily superior, but Clinton certainly succeeded in harpooning the right targets for his Austin Powers assignments. The result is groovy, but tiresome."
