"Movies Rock" (supplement to Vanity Fair) rated this disc as #1 in its list of the 50 greatest rock soundtracks of all time, and wrote: "Perhaps the best badly acted film ever, the semi-autobiographical Purple Rain turned the pride of the Minneapolis pop scene into an international superstar. Even if you've never seen the movie, chances are you know every note of the succinct and flawless soundtrack, which mashes funk, R&B, pop, metal, and even psychedelia into a sound that defined the 80s. The album produced two No. 1 hits, won the Oscar for best original song score, and taught the world what it sounds like when doves cry."
