Reception


Timothy Monger of Allmusic mentioned the soundtrack as "an enjoyable mix of melodic, guitar-based indie rock and acoustic ballads". Writing for ABC News, Allan Raible compared the soundtrack to the music of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), Garden State (2004) and The Bling Ring (2013), as it is "obviously constructed to compliment the specific tone of the movie above all else". He concluded "While this soundtrack plays with expected conventions of the teen-romance genre, it also takes some clever, unexpected chances."
Bruce E. Steele of Asheville Citizen-Times reviewed the soundtrack, saying "The soundtrack leans toward pop rock a la 1993 — Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth — and Adam’s supposedly punk-inspired band is actually reminiscent of Goo Goo Dolls’ better songs. With the AAA tunes and two near-perfect 30-something parents (Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard, both adorable in the extensive flashbacks), “If I Stay” plays as much to moms as to actual adolescents. Speaking of music: Any teen movie that teases out deep feelings from pieces by Bach, Saint-Saens and Beethoven gets bonus points — even if the movie’s corporate handlers were too squeamish to put the cello music on the standard soundtrack album."
Three of the original songs: "Heart Like Yours", "I Never Wanted To Go" and "Mind", performed by Williamette Stone were shortlisted for the 87th Academy Awards, but could not get selected.
