Awards Daily – Joey Moser
“Warner scores Thyme with a delicate hand… The score is lovely and soothing partner to Shanley’s script.”
Movie-wave.net – James Southall
“There’s a lovely, lilting main theme introduced in “Welcome to Ireland” with swooning strings complete with Gaelic accompaniment; bittersweet comedy in tracks like “Cemetery”; the occasional Irish jig (including one by Brian Byrne, “Shanley’s Delight”, which is quite delightful); more urgent drama as the romance is threatened in “The Phone Call” and “Open the Shutters”; and the inevitable sweeping finale, “The End”. It’s all very pleasant and very easy to listen to.”

“The score is melancholy and soothingly takes you to another place, attempting to tug at the heart strings all along the way. It comfortably puts you in another time.”
Goseetalk.com – Marc Ciafardini
“Warner dug deep and pulled out a sweeping romantic composition that feels like Pride and Prejudice by way of The Lord of the Rings. It’s lush, authentic, and uplifting. All that for a romantic comedy no less.”
Comingsoon.net – Jeff Ames
“Amelia Warner’s Wild Mountain Thyme ranks among the best scores of the year. Seriously, if you haven’t listened to the soundtrack, pick it up at the link below. It’s a truly majestic blend of luscious themes and Irish influences that works wonders for John Patrick Shanley’s quirky comedy-drama.”
New York Times – Amy Nicholson
“The score, by Amelia Warner, announces when to titter and when to swoon. In its cleverest flourish, it accompanies the ladies’ marital campaigns with a rollicking military march.”
