UK's Classic FM described it as "perfect for a movie that makes such a visually stunning impact". In the four-star review for AllMusic, James Christopher Monger described it as "a moving yet unassuming score that supports the film's lush visuals without resorting to bombast". The Life of Pi soundtrack album has received positive reviews. "Pi's Lullaby" was released as a promotional CD single to solicit nomination for an Academy Award. The official physical and digital release followed on 16 November, shortly before the film's general premiere. The soundtrack was first made available for streaming on SoundCloud and Spotify in October 2012. The opening track " Pi's Lullaby" is the soundtrack's only vocal piece, co-written and sung in Tamil by Bombay Jayashri, although a number of other songs include wordless vocalising. The score consists mainly of instrumental music, blending Western orchestral sounds with traditional Indian instrumentation ( sitars, bansuris, kanjiras, among others) and minor French influences ( accordions). Danna spent a year working on the Life of Pi score, which was recorded primarily in Los Angeles, but also in India and Canada. Mychael Danna had known Ang Lee for around fifteen years and had previously contributed the soundtrack to Lee's films The Ice Storm and Ride with the Devil.
