Reception

A review from the ''Geekiary'' magazine, stated "Since its inception, music has been at the core of ''Steven Universe''. Built on a background of musical theater, with leitmotifs and fusion dances written into the very fabric of the show’s lore and mythology, the show has delighted viewers with its wonderful music. ''Steven Universe Soundtrack Volume 1'' is a collection of practically every single song from the show’s first four seasons, and is a must have for any dedicated fan." ''Epicstream'' commented the musical songs, "a treat for any lover of musical cartoons" and praised the technical production and background music. ''Player One'' magazine wrote "''Steven Universe''’s music has a combination of easy listening and boppy sci-fi touches that make it really pleasant to listen to". ''Forces of Geek'' wrote the soundtrack "excels on all levels". David King of Bubble Blabber wrote "Next to the more modern animated shows such as ''Adventure Time, Star Vs the Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, Legend of Korra'' and ''RWBY,'' ''Steven Universe'' has always been on-par with those shows in terms of quality & emotional writing and the combined efforts of Rebecca’s writing and the voice cast’s musical talents further excels as this Vol.1 soundtrack captures the most memorable & iconic tunes of the past four seasons."
