William Ruhlmann of [[Allmusic]] stated in his review that: <blockquote>With ''Signs'', composer James Newton Howard again joins director M. Night Shyamalan for their third collaboration following ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'' and ''[[Unbreakable (film)|Unbreakable]]'', and clearly the film presents another thrilling encounter with the supernatural. From his opening "Main Theme," Howard ratchets up the tension, and his music thereafter alternates only between the ominous and the suspenseful. He overloads his lower tones, employing eight basses, five percussionists, and even a tuba, but also uses a large string section for short, fast, repetitive figures meant to keep viewers on the edges of their seats. This is not particularly imaginative music, just good old Saturday afternoon scary movie fare, the only distinguishing characteristic about it β consistent with Shyamalan's style β that it is so relentless. There's just no let up; dread pervades every moment of the director's films, to the point of emotional exhaustion for some, and the score has to have the same uncompromising approach, which can make it a little hard to take when listened to all the way through.<ref name=AllMusic/> </blockquote>
