Reception
The Hangover Part II: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack received a positive review from AllTimeSoundtrack.com: There is nothing more romantic than to spend your rainy day in bed day dreaming or else, reminiscing. Yes, this is how the soundtrack of the movie makes you feel. Unlike other movie soundtrack, the track collections in The Hangover II are rarely new. In fact, most of them are those you just heard around but never attended.

There is just something so special in the collection that makes you want to check your rack and see the songs that you haven’t played for a while. But take note of some like Kanye West’s that lets you groove for the sake of having a break from being too sentimental. A total track of smooth and hard rock journey is on your way.
